Asbjørn Kragh Andersen rejoins Team dsm-firmenich as a coach for 2024 season

Asbjørn Kragh Andersen will rejoin forces with Team dsm-firmenich in the 2024 season as the former Danish cyclist joins the Dutch team's coach ranks. As a rider Kragh Andersen showed a lot of tactical nous and ability to bring a group together, focusing on the details, and that is something he aims to take with him going into his career as a coach.
"I had the opportunity to join the coaching team for 2023 but I decided to take a short break from the sport, but I stayed in close contact with the team. Through the year myself and Rudi had some good conversations about plans for the future and how my role in the team would look," he explains his decision.
"It’s a good feeling to know that he and the rest of the team see my personal qualities and what my time on the bike can bring off the bike. Being a coach is different than being a rider as you must see things from a different perspective. It’s a big challenge but a nice one, and I’ve immediately had a lot of support from the rest of the coaches who are open to helping me, making me feel really welcome in the group. I’m looking forward to getting involved where I’ll be working mostly with the Development program but also working with the Men’s program too."

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
