Biography

Brothers Danny and Boy Van Poppel will be reunited, as from 2020, in the Circus-Wanty Gobert-Tormans colours. The brothers rode together for three years, after their start in the World Tour in 2013 in the Vacansoleil-DCM team, under the direction of Hilaire Van der Schueren. Their paths went separate ways after one year with Vacansoleil-DCM and two years with Trek. While Boy stayed with Trek until moving to Roompot last summer, Danny switched to Sky and later Jumbo-Visma. The Dutch riders have chosen to integrate in the same team.

The junior, Danny, 26 years old, took victories in Halle-Ingooigem, Binche-Chimay-Binche and stage wins in the Vuelta and the tours of Wallonia, Poland, Burgos, Luxembourg and the Arctic Race. He finished 5th in Ghent-Wevelgem and 7th in Dwars door Vlaanderen this year.
