In addition to taking on a new position in the team, the Greek will have more precision and will focus on the individual work of some cyclists in the same way that the coach worked at Soudal-QuickStep, his last job. Together with the former competitor, Davide Ballerini, Max Kanter and Ide Schelling will be present in the team.
“It’s a new challenge for me. I am very excited because my role is to ensure that each driver performs as well as possible and has the best possible preparation for each of the races we do with the team. I think I will have eight to ten pilots that I will train personally”, said the former athlete.
Previously, Mark Cavendish would have met with the former sporting director of Soudal-QuickStep, Vasilis Anastopoulos, so that they could define the routes for his final season, in 2024. After the occasion, the athlete decided that he will postpone his retirement to compete for another year on the WorldTour.
