Utrecht-born cyclist Wilco Kelderman has prolonged his partnership with Rabobank by signing a new year long contract on Wednesday.

“We are happy he chose for us. Wilco is a talent who we would like to see prosper,” said technical director for Rabobank, Erik Breukink.

“He has shown us what he is worth despite being at the very start of his career.”

Kelderman won the white jersey in both the Tour of California and the Critérium du Dauphiné.

The cyclist is excited about the sense of assurance within the team. “Last year I made a move from continental to professional level. It took some getting used to at the beginning of the year but I’ve been received well and am really getting into it.”

“Rabobank is the largest cyclist supporting team of the Netherlands and that’s who I want to ride for. This contract extension has only further boosted my confidence and that certainly does me much good.”
