Another new development at Visma Lease a Bike: after eight years, the collaboration between Tim Heemskerk and the Dutch team has come to an end. Heemskerk has held the role of athletic trainer within the team and was part of the performance staff led by Mathieu Heijboer.

Tim Heemskerk stated: "Recently, I noticed that I was struggling to continue applying my creativity and passion, which are important for performing my coaching job at its best. It's therefore time for me to be honest with myself and the team. I look back with pride at the growth of the team, the riders, including Jonas of course, and my own. In the next few months, I will take some time for myself and reflect on my future".

"We are extremely grateful to Tim for the contribution he has made to the team over these years," explains technical manager Mathieu Heijboer. "He played an important role in developing the training philosophy we apply within the team and in achieving our sporting results. Recently, I have had many conversations with Tim, and I believe this is the best choice for him. I wish him all the best in the next phase of his career".

Team Visma | Lease a Bike thanks Tim Heemskerk for his many years of commitment, dedication, and contribution to the team's sporting successes, and wishes him all the best for the future. The riders who were under Tim's supervision will be assigned another performance coach within the team.
