Biography

By recruiting Van der Hoorn, Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux has secured the services of an exceptional rider. Sidelined for several months in 2018 due to a concussion, he made a sparkling comeback: a victory on the BinckBank Tour, followed by an impressive streak of top five in the one-day races of the end of the calendar, before winning impressively the Primus Classic against the wind and a helpless peloton. Fantastic rouleur, he also won the Schaal Sels in 2017 in his first professional season. Van der Hoorn likes to race against the clock, against the wind and against the peloton, on the cobbles or spring classics.
