The Belkin Pro Cycling Team signed Barry Markus for the next two years, through 2015. Sports Director Nico Verhoeven is very content with bringing in the 22-year-old, who is with Vacansoleil-DCM.
“Barry is young, fast and a Dutchman," explained Verhoeven. "He turned professional two years ago but is still only 22 years old. He has a bright future ahead of him. We are active on multiple fronts, and therefore we’d like to have other strong sprinters beside Theo Bos.”
Markus showed his fast legs several times this season. He placed third in the Scheldeprijs and in the Tour of Qatar, he fought fierce battles with top sprinters like Mark Cavendish.
He purposely opted for the Belkin Pro Cycling Team. "Belkin is a very nice team, both on and off the bike they always look well organised. They have a strong sprint train, and I expect to develop myself as a sprinter on higher level at Belkin. I’m looking to learn from Theo Bos and occasionally do a sprint on my own.”
