Don\u2019t forget that as a junior, he came from mountain biking and had barely raced on the road. He\u2019s made huge progress with us, and we believe he still has room to grow. We expect Aldo to continue developing as a classics rider, but his sprint and time-trial skills are also promising. We want to help him reach his full potential. And Sven is a raw diamond as a climber. We\u2019re very curious to see what progress he can make with our team\u2019s support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited about this step,\u201d says Taillieu, who claimed his first pro victory earlier this year by winning the prologue of the Tour of Rwanda in his debut U23 season. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the structured way of working and the expertise within the team when it comes to nutrition and training. I want to keep improving in all areas. Hopefully, I can grow into a strong classics rider with the support of Team Visma | Lease a Bike, but I\u2019m also eager to help the team in stage races with a leader who can go for the win.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3000\/1999;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-08-at-09.14.21.jpeg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mernik also looks forward to joining his new team: \u201cI want to become a professional cyclist, and this brings me a step closer to that goal.
