Will Van Aert get a new superhero maid with Van Barel?
AD writes that Dylan van Barley is on his way to Jumbo Visma. The 29-year-old Dutch rider’s contract with INEOS expires at the end of this year. In addition to Jumbo-Visma, there are more major teams chasing his signature.
Van Baarle has an offer allowing him to extend his contract, but he also has other options, including United Arab Emirates’ Tadej Pogacar. But Van Baarle is in the most advanced negotiation with Team Jumbo-Visma. This team has been interested in Van Barel for years. To reinforce the classic basic about Wout van Aert, but also as a rider who can handle stage races.
Van Baarle is known for his daring way of racing and in recent years has made it a tradition to pick attacking in the Tour of Flanders. Thus it has taken many honors, with second place in an edition a few weeks ago as the highlight.
In this way, Van Barley also finished second in the world championships in Leuven last year and won with it the semi-classic Pap-Flanden rotors. But he also finished multiple times in the general classification in the smaller stage races and pulled tens of kilometers to the top of the group serving others on big laps. He is one of the most all-round riders in the peloton – and it’s not for nothing that many of the top teams are looking for his signature.

The Belgian Pogacar mediator with the precision of the talent of Sente Sentjens
Italian jockey Alex Carrera dealt a heavy blow. 16-year-old Sente Sentjens from Neerpelt has been in his portfolio since the Flanders Tour. The junior won the first year of the Acrog-Tormans in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne this year and is considered a talent. He is the son of Roy Sentins, who equaled Tom Boonen in the youth categories and built a career at Rabobank, Lotto and Milram with wins at Druvenkers and Corny-Brussels-Corn.
Sentjens junior ends up in good company in Carera, because Tadej Pogacar, Biniam Girmay and Vincenzo Nibali also belong to the same department. “Centi is the first Belgian rider I have been working with. At the moment school comes first and in 2023 he will still be active as a rookie, but next winter I would like to let Sinti get a taste of internships with professional teams. In the past, I also helped Cunego, Nibali and Pogacar as a rookie. in finding the perfect professional team,” says Carrera.

Maybe I missed some freshness in the legs in the first two stages after the tough classics. It’s good for the confidence that I can finish today. Or am I thinking of the points jersey? My biggest goal was to win a stage. The shirt would just be an added bonus.”
