It's difficult to say something about Chris that fits in just a few sentences because he is such a champion, on and off the bike. His palmarès speaks for itself and we are proud to have someone like Chris in the team. Since joining us last year, it has been amazing to see how Chris is as a leader and a teammate, particularly as a mentor for the young guys. When you see the hours of training, the altitude camps, everything he does is at the top level. He is a real champion, a very good guy, he trusts in himself, and after his crash he is still finding his place again. I really hope one day he will again be fighting for a victory.

Vernon continues strong start to 2024 at Tirreno - Adriatico time trial
A very reliable athlete when he reaches top form, Guillaume heads into his 10th year with IPT and his 15th season as a professional in 2025. IPT looks to Guillaume to provide strong sprint support for its top sprinters, however, during the Spring Classics, Guillaume has opportunities to show his capacity, particularly in races such as Paris - Roubaix.
Last year, Jakob delivered strong back-to-back performances supporting Derek Gee to superb results in the Dauphiné and the Tour de France. During his impressive 16-year professional career, Jakob has amassed some brilliant wins: Monuments, Classics, numerous World Tour victories, as well as an Olympic medal. Jakob provides a wealth of experience, skills, and mentorship for all of the IPT riders. As he undertakes his impressive 17th year of his pro career in 2025, Jakob will continue to support Derek. However, if he has an opening to race for a win, we can believe this champion still has some fire left to achieve success.

Pier-André joined us from our Academy after a great 2024 season in which he was selected for many ProTeam races, most notably when he rode GC at CRO Race and finished fifth. He will support our sprinters' team and Belgium Classics squads, but should be able to compete for some of his own results throughout the season.
Riley keeps improving each year, which justified his progression from the IPT Academy into the ProTeam for 2024. He as already won his first professional race - at the Sibiu Cycling Tour - and we look forward to developing him further and presenting him with more opportunities to win in 2025.
He's a tremendous talent and a great kid. Riley is a top one-day rider on our team, as proven by his results at Eschborn-Frankfurt, Tro-Bro Léon, and even the Tour of Flanders (in which he finished 13th on debut) in 2024. We are looking forward to seeing him continue to grow in 2025.
