Intermarché - Wanty reinforces its climbing core with the 25-year-old Belgian Kamiel Bonneu, recent winner of the queen stage of the Arctic Race of Norway. He signed with the Belgian WorldTeam for the next two seasons.
Bonneu provides more details to his decision in a press communication: "It was time for me to take the step up to the WorldTour, after three years with Team Flanders - Baloise where I was able to make a name for myself as a pro with confidence. Now, I want to participate in my first Grand Tour with Intermarché - Wanty and demonstrate what I am capable of at the highest level."

"I’m convinced that I can improve myself too, especially in the high mountains," declares Bonneu who looks up to a rather surprising cyclist. "My idol is Alejandro Valverde, I had the chance to race with him in 2022, he is a legend with an incredible record. Like him, all things considered, I love races with a difficult finish, I have a climber-puncher profile."
After three seasons at Team Flanders - Baloise, Kamiel Bonneu follows in the footsteps of his compatriots Aimé De Gendt, Pieter Vanspeybrouck, and more recently Rune Herregodts, Arne Marit, and Vito Braet, who joined the WorldTour with the Walloon structure from the Flemish ProTeam.
