Olav Kooij has signed a two-year contract extension with Jumbo-Visma despite significant interest from other WorldTour teams in securing the young sprinter’s services.
Jumbo-Visma poked gentle fun at those overtures in a social media video to announce the extension, which showed Jonas Vingegaard and Christophe Laporte recording farewell messages for Kooij only to be interrupted by directeur sportif Merijn Zeeman: “Olav is going nowhere, Olav is staying with us.”
