Team DSM-Firmenich are losing another of it's big figures. Lorenzo Milesi is leaving to Movistar Team, although this has not yet been made official. His departure was already recognized by the team, with the Italian also
“I’ve had a good few years with a great team, staff and teammates here at Team DSM-Firmenich and had the opportunity to turn professional with them," Milesi said in a press release. "It also would have been nice to complete the full term of my contract with Team DSM-Firmenich. When the opportunity then came to move to another team though, everyone involved had really good conversations and we came to a nice agreement together. I’m looking forward to what’s next and wish everyone at Team DSM-Firmenich the best for the future.”
This is only one more in the long list of riders who depart from the team after finding great levels. Soon after Cian Uijtdebroeks ending his contract with BORA - hansgrohe to join Jumbo-Visma, a similar case emerges in Milesi. However there is a key difference in that the Dutch team accept a mutual termination of the rider who won the under-23 time-trial World Championships. “Lorenzo is a good rider, who has worked well with us and we’ve come through a lot together, so it would have been nice for both Lorenzo and us if we continued," Rudi Kemna, team DS, added.
"We were approached by another team who had interests in a rider with his capacity, which we then discussed with Lorenzo. He was open to considering the move and then started to discuss things with the new team. From thereon, all parties were able to openly communicate about proceedings together and come to an agreement in a good way, in the end coming to a textbook transfer."

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
