Bram Tankink has signed another one-year-contract with Team LottoNL-Jumbo. Next year will be Tankink’s eighteenth season as a pro rider.  “I’m excited to announce the news”, Tankink says. “The respect that I get from the riders, the staff and the management made me decide to go on another year with this team.” On Twitter Tankink published a movie in which he discusses his choice to continue or not with two of his daughters.

Managing director Richard Plugge of Team LottoNL-Jumbo is glad to have Tankink’s experience, knowledge and qualities in his squad for at least another year. “Bram has reached again a very high level this season and has proven to be very valuable. Also for the atmosphere within the team Bram is key. He’s a mentor too for the youngsters of our team. Hopefully Bram will conclude his career with us in a good manner, whenever that may be.”
