Attila Valter has shown his potential over the last few years with Groupama - FDJ, and the 24-year old is taking a step further in his career as he joins one of the peloton's most prolific teams: Jumbo-Visma.
“I think this environment is the best for me to develop further. Team Jumbo-Visma is a top team that guides its riders very well to a higher level," Valter said in a press release. "Due to the conversations I had with the team management, my confidence was boosted a lot. I’m hoping I can fulfill my potential in the coming years.”
The current Hungarian national champion has taken a win at the Tour de Hongrie on his first year at World Tour level with CCC, and in 2021 he moved on to the French team where he's taken that title, started the Giro d'Italia in his home country and put a fourth place at Strade Bianche to his name. On both years he's been very close to taking the win on the hilly final stage of the Volta a Catalunya, showing off his talent not only in the mountains terrain.
“I'm proud to be a member of one of the world’s top teams. The team has demonstrated its ability to improve riders. I look forward to contributing to the team's future successes," he concluded. Valter is the eighth rider to be confirmed until 2025 with the team, matching the likes of Dylan van Baarle, Thomas Gloag and Wilco Kelderman who have also been recently signed.
