“Robbe has been part of our development program for two years and has had his ups and downs throughout that time. He’s had some tough injury times, but it’s allowed him to show us his true colors and how point he is dedicated. He is someone who always works with our experts and those around him to try to improve. In 2024 he has already raced alongside the professionals, leaving a good impression on us. “Now he has shown abilities on climbs and on undulating terrain, but we aim to focus on his overall development during his first years at the highest level.”
