Sunweb-Projob roster changes

The Sunweb-Projob cyclo-cross team could see a few changes at the start of the new year, the team announced Tuesday. Elite riders Jan Verstraeten and Wesley Van der Linden have not had their contracts renewed, but the team extended offers to two young riders, Sven Beelen and Kenneth Van Compernolle.

Team manager Jurgen Mettepenningen gave Verstraeten and Van der Linden until the end of November to prove themselves, but the pair were not able to meet expectations. "Jan Verstraeten may continue as an elite without contract, but wants to search elsewhere for a new professional contract. We wish both riders continued success in the rest of their career."
