Qhubeka Assos has announced that it has completed its 2021 roster with the addition of Australian Robert Power from Team Sunweb and Dutchman Bert-Jan Lindemann from Jumbo Visma. [With the addition of these two, the team now has 27 riders, leaving room for Qhubeka Continental Team riders to compete in certain races as part of World Toursted.

Power, 25, has been a professional since 2016 and has been with Team Sunweb for the past two years after running for Mitchelton Scott for three seasons; he won the Giro della Valle d'Aosta in 2015, and in 2018 he won the Prueba Villafranca and the Japan Cup as a professional He has two wins as a He was impressive at this year's Tour Down Under, finishing second in the third stage to Paracom, but failed to stand out in the rescheduled season.

"I am really excited to be joining Team Cubeca Assos next year in 2021 and am really looking forward to getting to know the riders and staff," Power said in the team announcement.

"It's a great fit for me as a rider and for Cubeca Assos, and I'm really looking forward to working with my team partners. It's really great to be riding for BMC next year. I'm really motivated for this next step and want to give it my best."

Lindemann has been a professional since 2012, spending two seasons with Vacansoleil and most recently six years with Jumbo Visma; the 31-year-old has worked primarily as a domestique for the Dutch team, but also won the 2014 Tour de Ain and 2015 He has won four races as a professional, including the Vuelta a España's La Alpujara summit finish stage.

"I look forward to riding in the colors of Team Cubeca Assos next year," Lindemann said, "and after six years, I am very much looking forward to being in a new environment and bringing the knowledge and skills I have developed over the years to my new team.

"I've been riding for the Netherlands-based team all my life, and to move to this team, which also focuses on my purpose as a rider through the Qhubeka charity, is a great motivation and something I'm very proud of.

Senior Director Sportif Lars Mikkelsen said Lindemann would be a valuable domestique for Qhubeka Assos, while Power could be a "joker" for them if the Australian gets back on track in 2018.

"Bart-Jan will bring a very good ability as a 'helper' rider to our team. "He has ridden seven Grand Tours and nearly every classic race (mostly in the north, but also Milan-San Remo and Il Lombardia). He is a solid sprinter and an excellent climber, but above all he has six years of extensive experience with Jumbo Visma.

"Robert is a really good climber and someone who could be a real joker for us if he gets into the right environment or if the circumstances work in our favor.

"His great results in 2018 show that if we can get him back to that level, it could be great for him and for us." "If the chemistry works out, I have high hopes for him as a trump card for next season."
