🇳🇱 CONTRACT EXTENSION: @ceesbol1995 Cees Bol renews with Astana Qazaqstan Team for two more years: 📰👉bit.ly/4595oWG #AstanaQazaqstanTeam 📷 @SprintCycling
Coming to Astana Qazaqstan as a last-minute reinforcement, not many big things were expected from the Dutch sprinter, who was part of the 'Mark Cavendish package'. However Bol proved to be a valuable rider, not only in sprints, but also in harder stages and, to the surprise of many, a very competent time trialist. This combination of skills brought the 28-year old to many good GC results in smaller stage races that didn't feature mountains, delivering important UCI points for his team as well.
"Last year I had a strange winter and I joined Astana Qazaqstan Team in the very last moment. However, immediately from the moment I joined Astana I felt very well. We started working together in a great way and I found here a great group of riders and staff and a very nice atmosphere. The season so far has been really good for me, I felt like I am in the right place inside the team. I’ve got a good racing calendar and I was also happy with the opportunities I’ve got during the season. Looks like the team was also happy with me, so we’ve got a new agreement quite easy."
"To me it is a great new possibility to stay in Astana Qazaqstan Team for two more seasons, to continue working together pursuing more good results. During 2023 I had some nice podiums and placements, but I hope the wins will come too. I am sure in this team I can achieve something important," said Bol.
"Cees proved to be a very strong and professional rider. He missed a victory so far, but I am sure he can achieve it this year and in the following years in our team. There is not a secret that sprint is quite a new cycling area for us, but this year we proved we can be successful in sprint competing against the best sprinter teams in the world. We are ready to improve in sprint and Cees is ready to be a good part of this improvement. I am happy he is staying with us, and I am sure in the next two years together we can achieve many good things," said Alexandr Vinokurov, General Manager of Astana Qazaqstan Team.
