I&#8217;m making some good developments in my development, so I&#8217;m really happy about that,&#8221; Veenhoven said, before talking about how Vos and her team have helped that development.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It&#8217;s really nice to have that kind of experience in the team, and you learn so much from them in and out of the race. So yeah, it&#8217;s really cool to have that in the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Veenhoven may not have got the better of Wiebes yet \u2013 a sixth and a fourth were her top results in Britain as she reaches the end of a long season, but her team are clearly putting their trust in her for the upcoming seasons.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Dutch squad announced on Wednesday that they had signed Maike van der Duin from Canyon-SRAM in a move that strengthens their lead-out train. 24-year-old Van der Duin is a proven fast finisher and a strong Classics rider, and she joins on a two-year deal.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Visma-Lease a Bike manager Rutger Tijssen reaffirmed that notion and stated that Van der Duin can help Veenhoven in the sprints.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;With Nienke, we have one of the biggest sprint talents in the peloton and over the coming years we want to continue building our sprint train around her,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Maike brings speed, experience and race intelligence, and fits that ambition perfectly. We are convinced that she can be of great value in supporting our sprint project. We see a huge amount of potential in Maike and have every confidence that she will become an important part of our sprint train in the years to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Van der Duin is enthusiastic about the idea. Upon signing with the team, she said that she&#8217;s looking forward to developing as a lead-out rider and working with Veenhoven.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;My ambition mainly lies in the lead-out role. I want to specialise further in that area, gain more experience and, together with Nienke, build a strong sprint train. At the same time, I want to continue developing myself, race more and play an increasingly important role in finals,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">With a quick new lead-out rider on board, expert guidance from a rider like Vos, and confidence and wins piling up, Nienke Veenhoven is one to watch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e71d3a36-a006-11f1-b956-c11fb0409fd3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>For unbeatable coverage across road, gravel and tech, subscribe to Cyclingnews.

We are convinced that she can be of great value in supporting our sprint project. We see a huge amount of potential in Maike and have every confidence that she will become an important part of our sprint train in the years to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Van der Duin is enthusiastic about the idea. Upon signing with the team, she said that she&#8217;s looking forward to developing as a lead-out rider and working with Veenhoven.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;My ambition mainly lies in the lead-out role. I want to specialise further in that area, gain more experience and, together with Nienke, build a strong sprint train. At the same time, I want to continue developing myself, race more and play an increasingly important role in finals,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">With a quick new lead-out rider on board, expert guidance from a rider like Vos, and confidence and wins piling up, Nienke Veenhoven is one to watch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e71d3a36-a006-11f1-b956-c11fb0409fd3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>For unbeatable coverage across road, gravel and tech, subscribe to Cyclingnews.
