Frank van den Broek Coming through club and amateur teams in the Netherlands, Van den Broek had a good 2022 season which saw him picked up by Continental level team ABLOC CT for the start of the 2023 season. Continuing his development with the team, he took impressive results such as the overall title at Ronde de l’Oise, an attacking eighth at the elite Dutch national championships, and his first professional victory at Tour of Qinghai Lake. These results saw him make a mid-season switch to Team dsm-firmenich’s Development program and since then he has continued to impress. His debut in the distinctive two-striped jersey could almost not have gone any better where he took a stage win and third overall at the demanding Tour Alsace. Building on his good form, he ably supported the team to some top results at the ProContinental level Deutschland Tour, where he himself finished 16 th overall. More recently he impressed many with a brilliant attacking ride at the SUPER 8 Classic where he unfortunately crashed out of the winning move; but it was a ride which highlights his potential for the future.
