"I am thrilled with my development" - Johannes Staune-Mittet ready to take the next step with Jumbo-Visma in 2024
Cycling
For Johannes Staune-Mittet, 2024 looks set to be a pivotal year in his continued development. After finishing his time in the developmental team, the 21-year-old Norwegian makes the step up to World Tour level with Jumbo-Visma.
"The past three seasons have been fantastic. The time has flown by, not least because of all the great people in the team. There is literally nobody I don't get on with," Staune-Mittet tells the official website of Jumbo-Visma. "I had a hard time at the beginning. I wasn't sure I was in the right place as a cyclist. My second year as a junior was challenging. In the end I was very grateful for the chance Jumbo-Visma gave me. I grabbed it with both hands."
After an all-conquering year for Jumbo-Visma in 2023, the team are reportedly set to give youth a chance at the 2024 Giro d'Italia. With Staune-Mittet having proved himself with overall victory at the Giro Next Gen earlier this year, could it be a first Grand Tour for the Norwegian prospect. "I am thrilled with my development," he says, hinting that he feels ready. "I cannot thank Robbert de Groot enough. He has helped me take steps both physically and mentally. Together, we have found a good balance. Robert Wagner and Sierk Jan de Haan also helped me. With them as sports directors, we had the best possible guidance during the races."
"The Giro NextGen was my highlight. I had a fantastic week there with the team. I enjoyed every day, both on and off the bike. The team spirit was incredible and took us to great heights," he recalls. "Part of the success is down to the chemistry. The friendship I have with the guys off the bike is special. I am convinced that this also brings results."
"I can't wait to start the new season. The races we did together with the WorldTour riders last season already tasted like more," continues Staune-Mittet, referring to his stage win at the Czech Tour this July. "Hopefully, we can have a lot more success in the coming years. In any case, I feel more than ready for the step up, not least because of the professional support."
