From the DS

This year with NSN will be Dion’s 12th year as a professional - we will look to him to bring experience and stability to the squad. One of his greatest strengths is his reliability, and we will count on him to support our leaders in reduced finals. His positive attitude and strength on short climbs make him a key team player for Classics and Grand Tours.

— Alex Cataford
