Trek Factory Racing is proud to announce the signing of Gert Steegmans. The 34-year-old Belgian brings a wealth of experience to TFR and will strengthen both the team’s Classics and sprinters contingent.
Steegmans: “I’m happy to have landed a team for 2015. I’ve been training hard these last weeks and now I can focus on training without having to worry about contract negotiations. Trek Factory Racing is a great team and has excellent support staff. It’s a young team, but the management has a clear, long-term vision.â€
General Manager Luca Guercilena: “We’re stoked to have Gert in the team. I know him personally from the times where we were both at QuickStep. He’s one of the biggest engines in the peloton and he’s very motivated to have a great season. This is a last-minute signing for us and we’ll start working on Gert’s training schedule and race program right away.â€
Steegmans will enter his 13th season as a professional rider and has a proven record in both one-day races and stage races. He earned his stripes as a first-rate teammate and as his team’s designated sprinter, most notably winning the prestigious sprint on the Champs-Elysées in the 2008 Tour de France. He has also won stages in Paris-Nice, the Ruta del Sol, the 4 Days of Dunkerque and won the overall and stages at the Circuit Franco-Belge.
“I’m excited to get to know many new faces, starting next week at the team camp in Spain. I hope to support Fabian (Cancellara) in the Cobblestone Classics and to share my experience with the young sprinters of the teamâ€, concludes Steegmans.
