U23 Development Platform
Whether you're striving for growth or aiming to compete at the highest level, the U23 platform offers the same professional guidance you would expect from a professional cycling team.
The U23 platform is powered by a team of specialists working together to create the ideal environment for young cyclists to develop and excel.
At the heart of this supportive network is Marco van Bon, serving as the development trainer and coach. His expertise in rider development is complemented by specialists in nutrition, performance testing, bike fitting, and aerodynamics.
An essential part of the platform is also the presence of a sports doctor, who serves as a direct point of contact for riders dealing with injuries or other health-related issues.

Highlights include winning the Dutch omnium championship, claiming the mountain jersey, and earning two bronze medals at the Dutch championships in my first U23 season. Marco’s guidance has made me aware of my potential and taught me how to keep advancing toward my goals.”
