Sjoerd Bax: “I want to fight for victory again”
“During my two years at UAE Team Emirates I have worked tirelessly to support my teammates, but now instead of riding behind the breakaway I want to be in the breakaway myself or have a shot at the finish.

I want to fight for the win again and just have fun on the bike.”continues Sjoerd Baxbefore giving the floor to Douglas Ryderthe general manager of the Swiss ProTeam.

We are excited about the success we can achieve together over the next two years.”concludes the South African.
