Jonas Vingegaard and Sepp Kuss have announced the extension of their contracts with Team Visma | Lease a Bike. The reigning Tour de France and Vuelta a España winners will remain with the Dutch team for several more years;

Two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard has reaffirmed his loyalty to the team until the end of 2028. This extension, in addition to his previous contract expiring in 2027, testifies to the exceptional synergy between the rider and the yellow B team. Vingegaard, who crowned the overall winner of the Tour de France in the last two seasons, is experiencing a stellar moment in his career, a fact backed up by reliable sources at WielerFlits.

For his part, Sepp Kuss, winner of the Vuelta a España, has extended his contract until 2027. This move is especially relevant after his surprise victory in the last edition of the Vuelta. The demand for Kuss was evident, with multiple teams after him. However, his tie-up with Visma - Lease a Bike signals the importance of having a high-caliber American cyclist for future focus on the U.S. bike rental market.
