"I consciously chose a foreign team": Thymen Arensman talks about his adaptation to INEOS-Grenadiers
CyclingMonday, 13 March 2023 at 06:00
Thymen Arensman, one of the fresh faces, of this season for INEOS-Grenadiers is still adapting to his new team dynamics. The Dutchmen have already done 3 stage races and have big ambitions for the rest of this season.
"Maybe in the meantime, you get used to it a bit. At the training camps in October and December, I really thought: wahoo, where did I end up? But in the end, I am also part of the team, just one of the riders, and my teammates have faith in me. Still, it remains special", Arensman said to Algemeen Dagblad.
The 23 years old cyclist, has been racing all his career in Dutch teams (DSM was part German also), and now sees himself on a British team with new training and race dynamics. Now he is in a new environment and feels excited about this.
"I consciously chose a foreign team. It takes me out of my comfort zone, with big names and all different nationalities. That can never be a bad thing. It is mainly a British team and things are a bit different there than in a Dutch team.", he said.
Arensman left his home country to move to Andorra, and with this, he had to give up his studies and now is fully focused on professional cycling.
"There is full-time coaching of the team there, everything in terms of food, clothing, equipment, and cycling is there. They want to set up a kind of team base there. Then it would be stupid to stay in the Netherlands.", he concluded.

- What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
