Marco Brenner bids farewell to his former teammates at Team dsm-firmenich: "I feel like I have made big steps in my development here"
Cycling
Marco Brenner will compete for Tudor Pro Cycling next season. On January 1, the Swiss team presented the 21-year-old German, who has signed a contract until the end of 2026. Brenner himself said goodbye to his now former employer Team dsm-firmenich on Instagram.
"I had some great years with the team," begun Brenner, who turned professional in 2021 with Iwan Spekenbrink's team. He then signed a three-season contract with the option for a fourth.
Although Team dsm-firmenich decided against that option, Brenner looks back on his time with the team with a good feeling. "I feel like I have made big steps in my development here. It was a good environment to work. I wish my teammates and staff all the best."
Brenner, who came to the pros as an 18-year-old with the necessary credentials, has not yet been able to capitalize on his status as a top talent among professional cyclists. Since his professional debut in 2021, two fifth places in stages of La Vuelta and Tour de Pologne are his best results in the WorldTour. This year, a sixth place in the road race of the German championship was his best result.

- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- If you look at how much TP progressed in that 1 1/2 years you can no longer say that’s nothing. If Remco improves as much he’s a challenger!Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Keep telling yourself that Remco but you not only have Tadeg to beat but Jonas!frieders320-12-2024
- Seems farfetched - I agree. Mas has beaten him once. Giro d'Emillia I think - 2022mobk20-12-2024
- Barring injuries, by the time Pogacar's dominance fads there will be lots of new young talent. Pogacar is about 1 1/2 years older than Remco. That's nothing.Sweep20-12-2024
- I actually don’t find that too impressive. In my later forties I did similar figures for a 3.5% gradient as a total nobody with no wind assistance. Am sure there’s margin for improvement there, especially looking at all the names on that list.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- Jonas', was 6 years agospock12320-12-2024
- The race where he overnight suddenly turned nuclear after being packfodder at best for several years. His Sky days after that Vuelta and Pogačar’s last season shall remain the darkest post Lance stuff cycling has witnessed. Good riddance Froome.
