Gribar, who won this season's Tour de Chalat, also has his sights set on future participation in the Tour de France. I'm a strong rider on short, explosive climbs, and it's never too late to sprint in small groups. My short-term goal is to get off to a smooth start in the World Tour. My long-term goal is to win a couple of big races and get into the Tour de France.”

Alpecin-Desseuninck also renewed its contract with Stan Van Trijckt, completing a 29-man team for 2025.
