The 26-year-old Dutchwoman still had a further season left on her contract with Picnic, but she is now signed on through 2028 with Fenix. Today was the final day of the UCI&#8217;s newly instituted <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/the-uci-overhauls-the-rules-on-rider-transfers\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mid-season transfer window<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m ready for a new chapter in my career. From the very first conversation with the team, I had an immediate and genuinely good feeling about their mentality, and the trust they&#8217;ve placed in me,&#8221; Kool said in a statement shared by her new team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, making a move halfway through the season comes with its challenges, but it feels right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Picnic&#8217;s messaging around the surprise move, meanwhile, is harder to parse.<\/p>\n<p>            This post is for paying subscribers only<br \/>\n            <a class=\"gh-btn\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\" style=\"color:#FF6F42\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already have an account? <a data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Did we do a good job with this story?<\/p>\n<p class=\"reactions\" data-post-id=\"689f4a45cb9a78721eb03894\">\n                    \ud83d\udc4dYep<br \/>\n                    \ud83d\udc4eNope\n                <\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/news-and-racing\/\" title=\"News &amp; Racing\" class=\"tag tag-67a677ae0c7ad49bf4f293b3 news-and-racing\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News &amp; Racing<\/a><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/charlotte-kool\/\" title=\"Charlotte Kool\" class=\"tag tag-67a677ae0c7ad49bf4f290c8 charlotte-kool\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Kool<\/a><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/picnic-postnl\/\" title=\"Picnic-PostNL\" class=\"tag tag-67eac49a8ea98dc3c70f36ce picnic-postnl\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Picnic-PostNL<\/a><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/fenix-deceuninck\/\" title=\"Fenix-Deceuninck\" class=\"tag tag-67a677ae0c7ad49bf4f291ac fenix-deceuninck\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fenix-Deceuninck<\/a>\n                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News &amp; Racing The Dutchwoman becomes the latest Picnic-PostNL rider to leave the team early.
