“This new adventure with Intermarché-Circus-Wanty represents an important step in my career. I’m convinced that I’m joining an environment in which I’ll receive the opportunity to grow as a rider. For example, the sports direction supports my ambition to participate in a Grand Tour for the first time, which would be a major turning point for my development. I’m very eager to show what I’m capable of and to leave behind this long period of physical problems. My new team believes in my capabilities and it is my intention to thank them for this confidence by giving it my all and by achieving results when this is my mission. I’m pretty excited to discover my new environment in our teambuilding next week and to start training with my new teammates in our first training camp in December.”
“We attracted Kevin Colleoni in our team to fulfil two important roles. In the races of the World Tour calendar he will reinforce the climbers group around Louis Meintjes. Next, we would like to present him as our leader to achieve results in stage races of less than one week, like he did in the Sazka Tour, the Tour of Oman and Tour of Hungary. Kevin has great potential, which he has notably shown in his last season in the U23 category and his pro debut. He receives the opportunity to bounce back in the jersey of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty after one and a half year of being slowed down by physical issues. We’ll prosper the development of his talent as much as possible, that’s a nice challenge for us. A first participation in a Grand Tour could possibly be a significant step in the career of this young climber. Finally, we know that our Italian partners are pleased to welcome a new qualitative element in our contingent. Our history with this country and our experiences with Italian riders are filled with success.”
