Biography

After a 2023 season disrupted for almost four months by the consequences of a heavy fall at the Saudi Tour in February, Kenneth van Rooy has courageously set sail for better days. The 2024 season was more cheerful for our puncher-sprinter, who totaled 65 days of racing. Among other things, he finished 8th in the 3rd stage of the Etoile de Bessèges, 2nd in the second stage of the Tour of Antalya, and he distinguished himself in a large part of the Flemish races at the start of the season. He was seen in 12th place in Heistse Pijl, twice in the top ten of the stages of the Tour du Lac Qinghai (Chi), 11th in the GP de Fourmies. Kenneth has the role, alongside his personal objectives, of organizing the finals and placing the leaders for the sprints as well as bringing his experience to the young pros of the team, missions that will still be his in 2025.
