Roy Curvers stepping into a sportive leadership role

Ahead of the 2027 season, Team Picnic PostNL will evolve its coaching structure, with Roy Curvers stepping up from his coaching role to a leading position within the Sportive Management of the team.

Roy has been part of the team since 2008, first as a rider before moving into coaching with our Development program and, more recently, at WorldTour level. During that time, he has developed within our organisation not only as a coach, but also by broadening his management and leadership skills and taking on increasing responsibility within the team.

His extensive experience, natural leadership and deep understanding of the team, the culture and the way of working make him the right person to help lead the next phase of our sporting structure. In his new role, Roy will join Rudi Kemna, as part of sportive management.

Next to that, the team will say goodbye to coach Matt Winston at the end of the 2026 season, as he leaves the team to take on a new challenge elsewhere.

After eight years together, the team look back on a strong and valued collaboration and thank Matt for his commitment and contribution to the team throughout this period and wish him every success in his next chapter.

Coaches Davide Gani and Melvin Rulliere will leave the team at the end of the season. The team thank them both for their commitment and contribution during their time and wish them all the best for the future.

Further details on the updated coaching and Sportive Management structure, including new additions to the team, will be announced in due course.
