Having the opportunity to race for the same team is a dream come true,” said Arensman. His ambition, he said, is to grow as a cyclist and as a person.

It will also be great for me to join the team that it and meeting a lot of the biggest stars in cycling. learning experience for me,” he said. Arensman considers himself “a power rider who likes long, high-powered efforts, time trials and long climbs.”
