He has progressed well in 2024 and we are very happy to have him back with the team. We are counting on him a lot to join the professional level in 2025. Leander is not shy and he perfectly represents the character found in the new generation of riders“, he said in the team’s official press release.

The Belgian team Philippe Wagner/Bazinwho will associate with Bingoal WB next season, followed very closely Henri-François Renard-Haquin : “Henri-François Haquin is one of the young French riders whom we followed very carefully, particularly after his stage success at the Tour d’Alsace. He arrives as a neighbor from a club which has served as a launching pad for many champions, and we can only wish Henri-François [Renard-Haquin] let him imitate them”said Philip Wagner.
