Alpecin-Deceuninck net premier lead-out man Ramon Sinkeldam as B&B Hotels-KTM signing is cut

The news had been out in recent days that Ramon Sinkeldam was joining Alpecin-Deceuninck in a team training camp very soon. It was a given sign of an imminent signing, and today the Belgian team have revealed their new weapon for Jasper Philipsen's arsenal.
Sinkeldam has since 2018 formed part of the leadout for Arnaud Démare at Groupama-FDJ together with Jacopo Guarnieri - with both departing this season. He had previously worked for Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb at the Giant - Alpecin team, and now he will remain in the World Tour with ambitions of playing a crucial role for both Jasper Philipsen and Kaden Groves for the next two seasons.
"It might sound a little cliché, but it's just the truth: I am insanely happy about this opportunity!" Sinkeldam said in a press release from the team. "All the pieces are falling into place. I am super motivated to be pat of the Alpecin-Deceuninck sprint train and to share my experience with the other guys."
Sinkeldam had signed with B&B Hotels-KTM where he was expected to be one of Mark Cavendish's right-hand men. However, financial problems plunged the team into allowing their riders to look for contracts elsewhere. Sinkeldam was immediately in sights of Alpecin-Deceuninck who put in a lot of focus on their fast men.
