In the Netherlands and abroad
In his new role, Knaven will lead the service team behind the iconic blue cars and motorbikes at several major international races. Since 2001, Libéma Profcycling has been responsible for this service in the Benelux, as well as for organising World and European track championships at Omnisport Apeldoorn, the European Road and Cyclo-cross Championships, and the ZLM Tour. In addition, Libéma Profcycling brought the Giro d’Italia to the Netherlands in 2010 and 2016. With Servais joining the team, Libéma Profcycling is taking another step forward in its professionalisation. Thanks to his experience in both the professional peloton and management, Knaven will make an important contribution to the continued growth of this service team.
“We are delighted with this valuable addition to our team. Servais brings not only a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also a drive that will undoubtedly help take our team to the next level. With his arrival, we are taking the next step in the continued professionalisation of the Shimano Neutral Service.”
Contributing to a fair and safe race
Servais Knaven is looking forward to this new challenge: “I am very excited to get started at Libéma Profcycling. The Neutral Service plays an essential role in ensuring races run fairly and safely. I am determined to work together with the team to provide the highest standard of support.”
