Cervélo will likely disband TestTeam: DS
Cervélo TestTeam DS confirms that the men's team may cease at the end of this season.
Cervélo TestTeam Directeur Sportif Jean-Paul van Poppel has confirmed (through a non-denial) that the men’s team may cease at the end of this season.
“I can’t deny that it’s true,” van Poppel told the Dutch website NUsport. “The future will change. For me it’s still a question how [the change will take place]. I hope that we don’t stop completely, but at this moment I can say nothing meaningful about it.”
Cervélo TestTeam riders Thor Hushovd, Heinrich Haussler, Andreas Kilier and Roger Hammond are expected to move to Garmin-Transitions, which is planning to switch to Cervélo bikes from Felt.
Reports suggest the Canadian brand’s successful women’s squad will continue.
