Ramon Sinkeldam joins Alpecin-Deceuninck training camp, B&B Hotels transfer at risk

For several months Ramon Sinkeldam has been given as a certainty to join B&B Hotels-KTM, however with the team's difficulties in staying up into 2023, it's riders have been given freedom to chase contracts elsewhere and the Dutch sprinter is taking the opportunity. 

Sinkeldam is best known for being Arnaud Démare's leadout man, alongiside Jacopo Guarnieri at Groupama-FDJ. This season, as has been the case in the past, the trio have succeeded at the Giro d'Italia with multiple stage wins, and several other wins throughout the season. However the French team is seeking new cards to help the Frenchman, and Sinkeldam looked for a contract elsewhere.
