Axel Laurance has signed a contract with Alpecin-Deceuninck, the development team most specifically. Frenchman found himself without a team after B&B Hotels-KTM was dissolved, but thankfully just before the beginning of the new season, he found a new home for himself. He will ride for the team until 2024.
Initially, he will be part of the development team, then he will join WorldTeam in 2024. "I am very proud of this step," Laurance said. He continues, "I am convinced that I can develop further here and that I will grow - step by step - towards the best version of myself. I have no doubt that this will be a very nice story."
Laurance recorded his first career victory in the fourth stage of the CRO Race. His other notable achievements included silver in the Bretagne Classic-Ouest-France and Tour de Wallonie where he scored bronze.
Alpecin-Deceuninck has added another rider to its entity. We are delighted to welcome the promising @laurance_axel. The 21-year-old Frenchman signed a contract for 2023 and 2024. Axel will join our development team and make the step to the WorldTour at the latest on 1 Jan 2024
