The Jumbo-Visma team offers their fans a rare opportunity to buy bikes that the team's riders have ridden in 2021, including the Cervélo R5 that Wout van Aert rode when he won two wind-climbing bald mountain stages in the Tour de France, and the Cervélo R5 that Primo Rogli rode when he won a triple crown at this year's Tour de La Circus.
▲ The Tour de la Ciudad Triple Crown is currently only priced at 4700 euros
In fact, the team's managing director, Richard Plugge, has put the cars used by the team's 24-car fleet on Catawiki.com, a "special items" auction site in the Netherlands.
The description says: "Participating in this auction will allow you to own a historic bike, you may have seen the wonderful two-way climb during the 2021 Tour de France, if you have been paying attention to the bike at the time, then you have the opportunity to take it home now." ”
Their auction list also includes the bike jonas Vingegaard rode on the Tour de France, the bike that Marianne Vos won the Gent Wevelgem S5 stage, the bike to which Tom Dumoulin returned to the race, and George Bennett's bike in the new Cervélo The R5 rides a hexagonal painted bike between its public debut and official release.
▲ George Bennett's hexagonal painted chariot is currently priced at 5500 euros
In addition, there are several special team-version jerseys, the most notable of which is the signature version of the team-old Dylan Groenewegen, who recently left the team halfway through his contract to join the BikeExchange-Jayco.

In the text description of the auction, it is also mentioned: "The proceeds of this auction will be used for the further development of the team, not only for the top drivers to have better performance, but first of all for the jumbo team academy and the cultivation of pre-personnel." This is one of the core elements that are essential to build a world-leading team of excellence and to encourage people to join cycling. "
