\u201cI\u2019m very excited about the opportunity I\u2019m getting here with one of the best teams in the world,\u201d Doull said about his transfer. \u201cI\u2019m already highly motivated when I think about next season. I\u2019m looking forward to supporting Matthew Brennan in the flat sprints, playing a role in his lead-out and in the classics. At the same time, I also want to discover how much room for growth I still have myself. Physically, I\u2019m still getting stronger, even after nine years in the WorldTour. Last season was my best so far, and I expect that I can take another step forward with this team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head of Racing Grischa Niermann is equally confident about Doull\u2019s arrival. \u201cWith his experience at the highest level, he will absolutely strengthen our team,\u201d said the German. \u201cOwain showed last year that he can still be competitive in the spring classics. We also expect that he can continue to improve physically within our team. But his most important role will be to guide our young talents in the classics and sprints.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019m very excited about the opportunity I\u2019m getting here with one of the best teams in the world,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,76882,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-171025","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-owain-doull-will-race-for-team-visma-lease-a-bike-for-the-next-two-seasons-the-british-former-olympic-team-pursuit-champion-brings-experience-to-both-the-classics-squad-and-the-sprint-train","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
