Visma | Lease a Bike signs another important British rider after Tulett's contract extension

"From my very first experiences with the riders and staff, I felt at ease at Team Visma | Lease a Bike," said the young Brit from the yellow and black squad. "The way of working suits me well, and I really enjoy collaborating with the many talented people around me. That combination makes me feel truly at home in this team."

So it didn’t take Tulett long to decide on extending his contract. "To me, this feels like the right place to grow. The professional environment, the mutual trust, and the shared ambition all give me the sense that I can continue to make great strides here. That’s why I’m happy we’re continuing together."

Grischa Niermann is thrilled with Tulett’s contract renewal, especially given the progress he has made this season. "Ben has made significant progress this season and fits in perfectly with the team culture. He’s delivered strong performances, achieved great results, and proved he can compete with the very best in the peloton. His growth and talent are why we’re eager to keep building with him."

"Ben is a huge talent and, on top of that, a real team player," the German added. "He’s already proven this year that he can win races, and we’re confident he can become a rider who plays a key role in our plans for the Grand Tours and Classics. That makes him extremely valuable for the future."

Tulett himself is also looking forward to continuing his growth in the coming years. "I’m still learning every day from the expertise around me and want to keep working to improve step by step. Team Visma | Lease a Bike provides the ideal environment for me to continue growing as a rider."

In addition to Tulett, Visma | Lease a Bike made another move on the British market by signing 18-year-old Henry Hobbs for the team's U23 squad. This year, he finished sixth in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne for juniors, second in Nokere Koerse for juniors, and eighth in Paris-Roubaix for juniors. "I'm very excited — the team looks great. I want to take the next steps in my development, and I believe this team offers the best opportunities to do that. Ultimately, I hope to make the step to the WorldTour, but I’ll take it step by step. I’m looking forward to discovering the continental level next season."

"Henry is quite an all-rounder: he can sprint and time trial, and his background on the track make him an interesting and talented rider," says Head of Development Robbert de Groot about Hobbs. "f course, you never know exactly how a rider will develop, but we’re very pleased that he’s chosen our team."
