Dutchman Antwan Tolhoek will ride for his home WorldTour team, LottoNL-Jumbo for the next two years. Tolhoek will make the switch from Team Roompot Oranje Peloton this winter to continue his development.
 
“Antwan Tolhoek is young and developing,” Sports Director Nico Verhoeven said. “He comes out of the speed skating and roller skating world, and has only been cycling for couple of years. That makes him fit perfectly with our philosophy of taking young talents to the highest level. Recently in Austria and the Tour de Suisse, where he won the mountains classification, he showed what he’s capable of.”
 
“I’m extremely glad to take the next step in my career with team LottoNL-Jumbo,” Tolhoek added. “The team has a strong support group and presented to me a solid plan, which is encouraging. I came out of an environment where development was important as well. This team’s vision and support make me feel confident.
 
“Robert Gesink and Steven Kruijswijk found their way to the top by starting off as youngsters in this team. It’s my dream to participate in the grand tours, and I want to go for it with Team LottoNL-Jumbo. I want to keep on growing as a rider.”
