Additionally, his personality fits very well with us\u2014he\u2019s eager to learn and works in a structured way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Naturally, Rex is excited about his promotion to the WorldTour. \u201cThis was the ideal scenario I had in mind when I joined the Development Team last year,\u201d Rex said. \u201cI\u2019ve worked hard all year and consistently fulfilled my role for the team, both in U23 races and the professional races I\u2019ve already ridden. I\u2019m looking forward to experiencing the WorldTour level next year. Hopefully, I can become a strong support rider at that level over time.
