Addy Engels will strengthen the sports technical team at Team LottoNL-Jumbo as of January 1, 2016. Engels has a long track record in professional cycling with four years as sports director at Team Giant-Alpecin. With LottoNL-Jumbo, he will coach.

Managing Director Richard Plugge is pleased with the addition of Addy Engels to the technical staff.

"Our team is focused on innovation and coaching to encourage the development of our riders and thus to maximise their potential. Addy works according to that vision. He is someone who can convey the tactical plan to all members of the team. Addy can bind a group and get them to work more closely together, allowing the individual to rise above himself.”

Addy Engels is looking forward to the upcoming season with his new employer.

“The past years, I noticed less of a fit with my team. If you want to continue, it is better to find a new challenge. I'm going to put most of my energy at LottoNL-Jumbo into coaching, that is my passion. The sport aspirations and focus within their three-year plan appeal to me. "
