After leaving Giant-Alpecin, I don’t want to keep you in suspense any longer: I have found a new team, which has put its trust in me and wants to support me in my goals. I am looking forward to the new challenges at Etixx - Quick-Step one of the best teams in the world and also to being on the same team again as my old friend Tony Martin. The team offers me a great and highly-professional environment, in which I can continue to develop, and having had Mark Cavendish in its ranks, has a lot of experience with sprinters.
