#MaxRenews🇬🇧 💬"Going to work with a smile on my face side-by-side next to this team makes it easy and I’m excited to be riding round with two blue stripes on my back for a while longer." - Max Poole We're delighted to reveal that young-talent Max stays with us through 2027! 👏🏻
Team DSM - Firmenich are in the market for a new sprinter which will most likely be Fabio Jakobsen, however within the team's current lineup they also make moves to ensure their existence in the coming years. The Dutch team has signed a long contract with it's new young talent Max Poole.
“For me I see this as the next stage in my career and it was important to be in the right place where I can do it in the best way possible and bring me to the highest level possible," Poole said in a press release. The 20-year old Briton has broken his current contract and has re-signed all the way into 2027. "I think the length of the contract allows me to grow over time and do everything in the right way. I think alongside that, it’s important to be in the right environment and I have a lot of trust in the people I work closely with that I can reach the level I want to be at in a few years’ time."
"That is ultimately the most important thing for me, just as really getting up for and buying into what the team have put forward in terms of goals and development is important for me too. The last one and a half years have been a whirlwind but going to work with a smile on my face side-by-side next to this team makes it easy and I’m excited to be riding round with two blue stripes on my back for a while longer.”
Poole signed with the team this year after having had a spell in the development squad in 2022, where he raced alongside the elites a few times. However his growth has been exponential, having won the youth classification at the Tour of the Alps, followed by a fourth place at the Tour de Romandie, his first ever World Tour event.
Ever since he has continued on a good run of form, having finished fourth in the Tour de Hongrie and led the Dutch team at the Criterium du Dauphiné where he tested himself alongside Tour de France contenders and rode to a 13th place. As is traditional with DSM there is a big focus on it's young talents, and they hope to keep Poole as part of a new emerging generation that is taking over cycling.

- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
- 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
- Froome wishing to ride the Vuelta...he won't even be selected for the team!frieders320-12-2024
- 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.
