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.

- Some things sound crazy until they aren't, what if he's actually right? 🤷vappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
- Debatable?Ride197423-12-2024
- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
