Georg Zimmermann will also compete for Intermarché - Wanty in 2025 and 2026. The 26-year-old German has extended his expiring contract with the Belgian team by two years.
"Joining Intermarché - Wanty in 2021 has been the best choice for my career. This structure invests a lot in the development of young riders. The professional way of working is qualitative in all areas, but if I have to mention the factors that played the most important role in my development, I would say the coaching and the annual plans, which enable us to prepare for our goals in the best possible way," Zimmermann said in press release.
"This allowed me to achieve my first World Tour victory in the Critérium du Dauphiné and experience other unforgettable moments. Performances like these changed my status in the peloton, but never inspired me to change environment. I feel happy within Intermarché-Wanty, I know that in this team I can exploit my potential and keep showing the best of myself in the coming years."
Head coach Aike Visebeek adds: "At Intermarché - Wanty he will have the opportunity to use his big engine in shorter stage races and classics tailored to his needs, as well as in a freebooting role in grand tours. He has the capabilities to win a stage. Last year he came close in the Tour de France. That remains our ambition."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
