Casper van Uden and Pavel Bittner ready for professional debut with team DSM
CyclingSaturday, 18 June 2022 at 01:00
Casper van Uden and Pavel Bittner will make their professional debut in August. Both riders are being promoted from the Team DSM training team to the World Team.
"This is a dream come true. Since my arrival in 2020, I feel comfortable with this team, the way of working, and how we planned my development. That has gone really well so far. I have already been able to get used to the WorldTeam because I already rode a few races with them," van Uden said. The Dutch rider has ridden to a fourth place on Scheldeprijs this year, and has taken wins at the Tour de Normandie and Le Tour de Bretagne. He is a well known sprinter in the under-23 ranks who has shown to have the legs to be competitive in the elites.
"I want to learn a lot with this team and continue to grow so that hopefully I can be one of the leaders in the future," he added. As for Pavel Bittner there is similar potential, although the 19-year old has not yet taken a win this year. The duo consists of two sprinters who are set to aid the likes of Alberto Dainese and Cees Bol later in the year, but above all build the team's future.
"At the moment there is a lot of mutual trusts, This is the perfect place for me to grow as a rider, but also definitely as a person... I've already learned a lot here on the training team and in the main team, but I feel like I belong in the World Team. Now I want to gain experience and develop myself in a steady way," said Bittner.

- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Ok, happy I’m not too interested in this team coz’ the account of what happened is really hard to follow.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024
- Bruyneel ? The man with a lifetime ban from cycling...why do you keep giving him and his doper mate, Armstrong, a platform?DJ24-12-2024
- yeah, agree. on the subject of being a “complete rider,” i do think that’s getting more interesting. mathieu seems to have decided he wants to get much better at climbing the the high mountain passes. he appears to be looking for new challenges, which should be interesting to watch. in most cases you’d dismiss a goal like that at age 30, but it’s mvdp. he’s never going to climb with the real climbers, but if he can improve enough it could open up stage wins when the parcours isnt just purely toothy and punchy.OCexile24-12-2024
- I'm loving the level of competition and the compositions of teams in 2025. Sure Pogi had an historic 2024. Slate is clean in 2025. And lots of great athletes--MvdP, Vingo, Primoz, Remco, Marc Hircshi, Pidcock, Carlos Rodriquez--and strong teams want to win. I think Pogi will have another great season in 2025. But I think we will talk about others having great seasons too. Who? I don't know. I'll watch the classics and tours and will root for spirited competition.pidginbil24-12-2024
- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
