Ryan Kamp to continue as individual rider having failed to secure contract extension with Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal

Starting January 1st, 2024, Ryan Kamp will no longer be riding for Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal having failed to secure himself a contract extension.

Although Kamp's contract at Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal has expired and a contract elsewhere is still yet to be found, the 23-year-old Dutchman will continue as an individual rider for the foreseeable future.

A big help to Kamp have been the Roodhooft brothers, bosses at Alpecin-Deceuninck. “They didn't have any vacancies, but they did ask me to call if I didn't have an option yet at the beginning of December,” says Kamp to Wielerflits. “Then they managed to arrange a salary and top equipment for me. Both Colnago and Campagnolo are new to me. But these two top brands together form a fantastic combination, even though they have disappeared from view in cyclocross in recent years.”

“Everything came together very recently,” Kamp explains further. “I've only had my bikes for a few days and the rest is far from completed. I don't even have a shirt sponsor yet, but I'm really happy that I can continue. Maybe this will grow into something bigger or I will get an opportunity to ride elsewhere. That remains to be seen. But for now the relief is enormous, because I was convinced that my professional career was over.”
