Dutch rider Huub Artz has had a great season with Metec-Solarwatt. Thus, the 21-year-old rider has decided to take a step forward in his career and will ride in 2024 for Circus-ReUz-Technord, the developmental team of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty.
The current season was full of excitement for Huub Artz. He was almost crowned overall champion of the U23 Road Series last weekend, but the victory slipped away at the last moment in favor of Jasper Dejaegher. Despite this, Artz has proven his worth and is ready to make the jump to WorldTour development.
The young Dutch rider will follow in the footsteps of Roel van Sintmaartensdijk, who last year also made the jump from a training team to Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. This strategy seems to be working for emerging talent, and Artz is eager to continue his development in a bigger-name team.
What makes Huub Artz a promising rider is his versatility. Although he excels in the time trial, he has proven his ability in various UCI competitions. He finished 11th in the Arno Wallaard Memorial, seventh in the Vredeskoers U23 prologue, seventh in the Midden-Brabant Poort Omloop and fourth in the inaugural Kreize Breizh time trial, as well as the Jana Magiery Memorial in France and Poland respectively.
In addition, Artz made a lasting impression by finishing fifth in the NK U23 time trial and taking third place in the Eurode Omloop, the toughest national classic in the Netherlands, last weekend. These achievements highlight his ability to compete in different types of races and suggest a promising future in the world of professional cycling.

- I know, their headlines can be so misleading. Pidcock had a great season with 5 wins. and some solid 2nds. no reason to take away from that with a fake headline.mij08-11-2026
- You can clearly see the the posture change from slightly sitting to again out of the saddle while changing of gears in the video of the sprintabstractengineer08-11-2026
- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
- Blah Blah Blah !frieders308-11-2026
- MS said she was changing gears so that caused her slight deviation. Nothing was intentional.frieders308-11-2026
- How can you use a photo post incident to judge the incident itself (which is not hard to find if you’re prepared to invest the same amount of time in searching as writing that comment? It’s harsh but technically right even though this or worse is not always sanctioned in every race. The two things that went against MS (who unfortunately for her would still have won without making her mistake) are that it was not a bunch sprint where there could have been an overlooked incident or mitigating circumstances explaining a deviation. Everything was focused on just those 2, Schreiber was riding beautifully balanced which made her sudden deviation look unnatural stroke as if it could have been in some part intentional whilst she was slowly drifting ever closer towards the barrier to a point that would have reached obstruction level. In her defence, it might have been the realisation she was heading towards that that made her react suddenly and caused the deviation involuntarily. In any case, congratulations to her for the ride of her life, in people’s minds she will be credited for it.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Good boy Obviously doesn’t need that much help dealing with pressure, as some have suggested. Wiser (and humbler) than many far further along their careers. About offering him the moon, recently someone came up with an explanation of the downfall of a football great (either referring to Maradona or Portuguese Ronaldo) saying it was kind of normal after coming back from the moon, except that others, including some who actually did go to the moon like Armstrong (Neil in case anyone is too switched off to realise) didn’t go through any of the same motions after coming back. A lot of how you deal with situations has less to do with the situation than with your character.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
