Jordi Meeus will continue to sprint in the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe jersey in the coming seasons. The 26-year-old is the last rider to win on the famous Champs Elysées. Exactly one year ago, he celebrated his biggest career victory to date, winning the prestigious final stage of the Tour de France.
And the Belgian was only one day early to celebrate his Paris triumph with another stage win at Tour of Wallonie on Monday. This marks Meeus' second victory of the season. In the spring, Jordi Meeus impressed with a third place at Gent-Wevelgem and a Top10 result at Paris-Roubaix.
"I'm really happy to stay with the team. I've become a professional cyclist here and I've felt at home from the beginning. I've learned a lot from the team and my teammates, and I've always felt super good here. The team was already one of the biggest when I first signed, and with Red Bull now on board, the project can now grow even further," said Meeus in press communication.
The exact duration of this new contract is yet to be officially confirmed, however it's most likely a two-year extension for the Belgian sprinter, who'll be looking to strike big again at the numerous stage races of autumn.
