On New Year’s Day, Team Jumbo-Visma will officially make the swap to Cervélo bikes, with one exception. Being mid-stream in the wet and wild cyclo-cross season, however, Wout van Aert will take the start at the GP Sven Nys in Baal on January 1 on his current Bianchi and complete his 'cross season with the same machine, according to reports by Wielerflits.

Jumbo-Visma will climb aboard Cervélo bikes in 2021, a change which will be made for both the men’s WorldTour team and the new women's Continental team.
