\u201cFrancesco is a strong rider with plenty of room for progression,\u201d explained Head of Development Robbert de Groot. \u201cHe is fast at the finish, but can also handle a challenging course. We got to know him better during our recent training camp in Rogla, where he had already joined us. We look forward to truly starting to work together from next season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baruzzi himself is excited to take the next step in his cycling career with Team Visma | Lease a Bike Development. \u201cTeam Visma | Lease a Bike is one of the best cycling teams in the world, so I am very proud to become part of it from next year. My first goal is to further develop myself as an athlete within the team\u2019s well-organised structure. I believe I can still make a lot of progress in all areas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFrancesco is a strong rider with plenty of room for progression,\u201d explained Head of Development Robbert de Groot.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,53626,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-67467","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-francesco-baruzzi-will-compete-for-team-visma-lease-a-bike-development-for-the-next-two-years-the-18-year-old-italian-is-looking-forward-to-further-developing-himself-as-an-athlete-within-the-team","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
