Ten Dam reported to be leaving Sunweb for new CCC set-up
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf is reporting that Team Sunweb`s Laurens ten Dam is to move to the new CCC set-up for next season. Ten Dam - who has been with Sunweb and its previous guise as Giant-Alpecin since 2016, having joined from LottoNL-Jumbo - is currently recovering from the broken collarbone he sustained in a crash at the Profronde van Surhuisterveen post-Tour criterium at the end of July, having finished this year`s Tour de France in 51st position. It was the Dutch veteran`s 10th Tour de France, and he played a key role in delivering Sunweb team leader Tom Dumoulin to second place overall in Paris, having previously shepherded his compatriot to his 2017 Giro d`Italia victory, and again to second place overall at this year`s Giro.ADVERTISEMENT Ten Dam`s departure would be a big loss to Sunweb, who for next season have already lost Simon Geschke, as well as Phil Bauhaus - who`s headed for Bahrain-Merida - and Roy Curvers, who`s retiring. Ten Dam and Geschke`s departures, in particular, will considerably deplete Dumoulin`s Grand Tour armoury, with only three neo-pros having so far been announced as joining Sunweb for next year. Ten Dam, 37, is said to have turned down a new contract with Sunweb to join Geschke at the `new` CCC team, which is essentially a merger of the current BMC Racing and Pro Continental-level CCC Sprandi Polkowice outfits, and which will race under the BMC team`s WorldTour licence, owned by Jim Ochowicz`s company Continuum Sports. The new team, which is headlined by current Olympic road race champion Greg Van Avermaet, has yet to name any Grand-Tour-contender signings for next season, and may initially remain built around Van Avermaet`s one-day Classics ambitions.
