After a successful year being the sports director at WNT – ROTOR Pro Cycling, leading the team to victories at Setmana Ciclista Valenciana, Lotto Thüringen Ladies Tour and The Tour Series to name but a few, British sports director, Graeme Herd has decided to leave the team with immediate effect. Whilst we are very disappointed to lose Graeme as a member of staff, WNT – ROTOR Pro Cycling fully supports his decision.
The team have acted fast, with the spring classics just around the corner, and have recruited former professional, Dirk Baldinger from Freiburg, in the South of Germany.
Having ridden two editions of each, the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana amongst many other major races in the professional world, Baldinger brings a wealth of experience both as a rider and as a sports director.
Dirk will start working with the team with immediate effect, with his first race being Drentse Acht van Westerveld in the Netherlands.
WNT – ROTOR Pro Cycling welcomes Dirk to the team, and we look forward to working with him in 2018.
