"An unprecedented success and the result of the dedication of the entire organisation", said CEO Richard Plugge at the team presentation in MOVE Amsterdam. Sportive Director Merijn Zeeman added that the team will not be sitting still and has high expectations for the upcoming season. The cycling team aims to shine in the spring classics, win stages at the Giro d'Italia, win the Tour de France final for the third consecutive year, and excel as defending champions at the Vuelta a España. "You can expect ambitious goals from our team. We want to continue creating sports history, and we will do so if we achieve these goals together next year", Zeeman continued.

Spring classics
With riders such as Wout van Aert, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot and Dylan van Baarle, the team hopes for top performances in the spring classics. The focus will be on the monumental Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Wout van Aert: "It remains a dream to win one of these monuments, and we will do everything we can to make this dream come true."

Giro d'Italia
Team Visma | Lease a Bike targets stage wins at the Tour of Italy. With riders like Wout van Aert, Olav Kooij and Cian Uijtdebroeks at the start, the team should be able to win several stages. Kooij: "I can't wait for the Giro. I grew up on the Development Team of this outfit. It's great to have the chance to follow up my strong 2023 season with my first grand tour."

Tour de France
Two-time winner Vingegaard will once again be chasing the overall title at the Tour de France, seeking his third consecutive victory in the world's greatest cycling race. The Dane would join an exceptional list of riders. Vingegaard: "Of course, it won't be easy. The competition is tough, but we believe in our approach and will ensure we have an excellent plan again."

Vuelta a España
As defending champions, Team Visma | Lease a Bike enters the Vuelta a España with high ambitions. The season will show how these ambitions will be realised. Zeeman: "Last season was historic, and as defending champions we are always ambitious, but our concrete plans for the Vuelta will be finalised later."

New logo and kit
During the team presentation, Team Visma | Lease a Bike also unveiled its new logo and jersey for the 2024 cycling season. The combination of Visma and Lease a Bike as main sponsors marks a fresh start, building on everything the team has achieved and built over the past few years. This is reflected in the team's kit, which is dominated by yellow and black. These colours are embedded in Yellow B., the new name of the company behind the cycling team, which replaces Blanco Pro Cycling. Read more about the unveiling of the new logo and jersey here.
