About Robert Gesink
A single book cannot adequately summarize Robert Gesink's career at Team Jumbo-Visma. The Dutchman has spent his cycling career riding with the yellow-black formation and its forerunners. Gesink was a team captain in his early years before becoming a domestique and helping Primoz Roglic to three Vuelta titles. In the 2022 Vuelta, Gesink was allowed to ride in the red leader's jersey for one day after winning the team time trial. The cyclist has already started in 21 grand tours. Gesink has a distinguished career behind him, finishing fourth in the 2010 Tour de France and placing five times in the top ten in the overall standings. When discussing Gesink's notable accomplishments, it is impossible to ignore the Quebec Grand Prix victory, the Tour of California general classification, and the stage win in the 2016 Vuelta.
