Alpecin - Fenix are keeping Jasper Philipsen and Mathieu van der Poel in their ranks, and Kaden Groves is close to being confirmed as the newest team leader for the 2023 season.
The signing seems confirmed according to sources reported by Wielerflits, and the Australian sprinter will be moving to Alpecin-Fenix. This won't result in a lowering of division as the Belgian team is certain to rise to World Tour level next year - the opposite of Team BikeExchange - Jayco's current risky situation.

The 23-year old sprinter has been emerging over the last two years and this year has won the points classification at the Volta a Catalunya alongside a stage win. He repeated the feat at the Tour of Turkey. Groves has had an opportunity to fight for his own chances on less competitive fields where he's succeeded this year, in the shadow of Dylan Groenewegen.
Groves will be starting the Tour de Suisse this weekend where, despite the hilly terrain, he will be attempting to take a stage win. The Vuelta a España is a possibility in the calendar for him later in the year.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
