Uno-X coach Espen Aareskjold set to join Jumbo-Visma in 2024 as replacement for Marc Lamberts
CyclingTuesday, 24 October 2023 at 04:00
According to the Norwegian channel TV2, Jumbo-Visma has secured the arrival of Espen Aareskjold. The Norwegian coach, who worked for Uno-X for a long time, was also in negotiations with Soudal Quick-Step, according to TV2, but has opted for Jumbo-Visma where he should be the reinforcement after Marc Lamberts' departure.
Aareskjold has a good reputation within the Scandinavian cycling community and has already worked with Per Strand Hagenes and Kristoffer Halvorsen, two world champions in the youth categories. He also had the brothers Markus and Daniel Holgaard, Frederik Dversnes and the brothers Tobias and Anders Halland Johannessen under his wing.
Aareskjold is said to be known for his scientific approach and as a coach he guided the top talent Strand Hagenes, who will be part of the Jumbo-Visma WorldTeam from 2024. The 20-year-old Norwegian was still under contract with the training team this year, but has already won several professional competitions. He won the Profronde van Drenthe, a stage in the Four Days of Dunkirk and the Sparkassen Münsterland Giro.
Aareskjold himself did not want to confirm the switch to Jumbo-Visma, but TV2 did speak to Jens Haugland, the team manager of Uno-X. He announced that Aareskjold will indeed leave. "This is a great opportunity for Espen and recognition for our team. It is also a great opportunity for the team to think further," said Haugland, who announced that Stig Kristiansen will become the team's new 'Head of Performance'.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
