The reason why Dylan Teuns is already changing teams … and why he is not immediately available

Dylan Teuns is leaving Bahrain-Victorious immediately. He immediately starts working at Israel-Premier Tech. For an obvious reason.

It was equally clear that Dylan Teuns would play for a different team than Bahrain-Victorious next year, but that he would immediately switch to Israel – Premier Tech? That was surprising.

It is not often that a rider rides for different teams within the same year, but Bahrain was at peace with it.

Fight against relegation

The reason is clear: Teuns must try to ensure that his new team does not have to be relegated from the World Tour.

The gap with Movistar in a safe 18th place is about 900 points. Solved problem with the 1042 that Teuns already collected this year? No, he cannot contribute his points for his new team. Still, he can be of value, because if he racks up more than 120 points in the Vuelta, he’ll be in the top-10 of his new team and contribute in that way.
