Team Picnic PostNL have agreed to the transfer of Oscar Onley. Following his fantastic Tour de France, the team received multiple offers for Oscar’s release, all of which were initially declined. However, a very late but appealing offer was made in recent days. While the team would have loved to keep Oscar for the remainder of his contract and beyond, the proposal was not one Oscar or the team could refuse and an agreement has now been reached.
Oscar’s progression from our Development program to Tour de France podium contender is a clear confirmation of our philosophy: Keep Challenging, and our ability to develop riders to the very top of the sport. In the very short term, the team will undoubtedly feel Oscar’s absence – given the timing in the season. That said, we have full confidence in our structure and development pipeline. We remain ambitious and trust in our ability as a team to continue producing world-class riders and be competitive with the talent that we have in the years ahead. We expect to return to full strength quickly.
