Cyclist Yara Kastelijn leaves Belgian team Fenix-Deceuninck
Dutch cyclist Yara Kastelijn is leaving the Belgian cycling team Fenix-Deceuninck after nine years. The 27-year-old rider has decided to take on a new challenge with a foreign team.
Kastelijn is making the switch to the American team Human Powered Health. She had been riding for the Belgian outfit, formerly known as Fenix-Premier Tech, since 2016. Over those years, she grew into a staple of the peloton and achieved impressive results in both cyclocross and road racing.
The move to the United States marks a major change for the rider. With her new team, she hopes to further develop her career and reach new goals in international competitions.
Kastelijn's departure is a notable moment for the Belgian cycling team. Fenix-Deceuninck is losing an experienced rider who was an important part of the team for many years. Fans of the sport will be closely following her performances in her new American jersey.
