Vermote has been riding for Secteur-Duolar as a one-man team since January 2023. The rider from Kortrijk achieved an impressive 19th place at the Belgian championship in June. If Vermote actually signs with Visma – Lease a Bike, he will replace Lennard Hofstede. The Dutchman ended his career last week. It remains to be seen whether both parties will actually reach an agreement.
Vermote started his professional career in 2011 at Quick-Step where he took on the role of master servant until 2017.
