"Thank you Jan Tratnik," the post begins. "Thank you for always being there to help your teammates. Your talent is undeniable, with your win at the Omloop as the absolute highlight of your period at Team Visma | Lease a Bike. We’ll miss not only your abilities as a rider, but also your smile, personality and the lessons you’ve shared."
In his final campaign at Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Tratnik took that aforementioned victory at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad back in February, and performed strongly in a domestique role at both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, proving his worth and importance to the team.
"This year, you were part of a Giro squad that didn’t back down and were the driving force behind the Team Visma | Lease a Bike Renaissance at the Tour de France shortly afterward," Visma's fareqell post concludes. "Best of luck with your new team, and give Primoz (Roglic ed.) our warm regards from everyone at Team Visma | Lease a Bike!"
