Team Jumbo-Visma (Netherlands) - Press Release: Team Jumbo-Visma has extended the contracts of Steven Kruijswijk, Robert Gesink and Jos van Emden. The experienced trio will remain loyal to team manager Richard Plugge’s formation at least through 2023. The Dutch riders owe their longer commitment to their sporting value, but they are also considered cultural carriers of the team.

“Jos, Steven and Robert have helped to create a new culture in the team”, Plugge says. “From about 2013 they have contributed to that change. They helped shape our way of working and interacting with each other. They are the carriers of the Blanco Koers, in which this working method has been laid down. Robert, Jos and Steven have been involved in this very much. They were riders who saw that things had to and could be done differently. I like that very much. We have been through a lot together in the meantime. That makes it extra nice that they will stay with us for at least two more years.”
