Visma-Lease a Bike have announced that former directeur sportif Addy Engels is rejoining the team as a race coach, while they have also brought Joey van Rhee on board from Picnic PostNL in the same role.

Engels worked for Giant-Shimano after his racing retirement in 2011, then joining Visma as a DS, staying with the Dutch team from 2016 to the end of the 2025 season. He spent 2026 with Tudor but is now heading back to his old squad.
