Dylan Teuns Moves to Cofidis for 2025

Dylan Teuns

Dylan Teuns is set to leave Israel-Premier Tech, having signed a two-year contract to race with Cofidis beginning in 2025. The Belgian rider will bring both Grand Tour and Classics experience to the French WorldTour team. Teuns aims to deliver podium performances at the biggest races.

Teuns shared his excitement in a Cofidis team press release: โ€œCรฉdric Vasseur was one of the first managers to take an interest in me this year, contacting me very early in the season. His project interested me, and the great history of Cofidis was also a source of motivation.โ€

Franck Vandenbroucke was the last person to win a monument with Cofidis at Liรจge-Bastogne-Liรจge in 1999, and Teuns expressed his desire to achieve a similar feat: โ€œI want to do everything I can so that we can aim for a podium in this type of race. I know weโ€™ll be able to field a very strong team to achieve that goal.โ€

In 2025, Teuns will embark on his 17th professional cycling season. His career highlights include winning Flรจche Wallonne in 2022 and two stages of the Tour de Franceโ€”atop La Planche des Belles Filles in 2019 and at Le Grand Bornand in 2021. He also claimed stage wins at the Critรฉrium du Dauphinรฉ, Ruta del Sol, and Tour de Romandie, along with overall titles at the Tour de Pologne, Tour de Wallonie, and Arctic Race of Norway. During his career, Teuns has competed in eight Grand Tours and 22 Spring Classics.

Cofidis plans to support Teuns in his ambitions across the Spring Classics and the Ardennes Classics next season. โ€œThe arrival of Dylan Teuns in the Cofidis team marks a new departure for our structure, with new ambitions in Classic races,โ€ said General Manager Cรฉdric Vasseur.

โ€œDylan is one of the best riders in the world. He has solid experience, and his track record shows the full extent of his potential. Dylan can win on any terrain, and the Classics will be one of his major objectives for the 2025 season. Our team lacked a leader for the Flandriennes and Ardennaises, and now weโ€™ll be able to tackle these races with a rider capable of going for the win.โ€

Teuns himself is eager to rediscover the sensations of being in the lead and well-placed in the finish. โ€œIโ€™ve always given my all. I know the pleasure you get when youโ€™re in the lead, when youโ€™re well placed in the finish. These are sensations Iโ€™m looking forward to rediscovering with Cofidis.โ€
