Olav Kooij to Debut with Decathlon CMA CGM at Mayenne

Dutch sprinter Olav Kooij will make his first appearance in the colours of Decathlon CMA CGM at the Boucles de la Mayenne. The race runs from 28 to 31 May.

Kooij is a flagship recruit for Decathlon CMA CGM this season. His reputation as a sprinter adds strength to the team’s lineup.

The rider joins Decathlon CMA CGM after leaving the Visma Lease-a-Bike squad. His move marks a change of team ahead of the Mayenne event.

Boucles de la Mayenne will be contested on the roads of the Mayenne region. The four‑day race provides a platform for fast finishers.

The debut will be Kooij’s first race wearing the new team kit. It offers an early test of his form with Decathlon CMA CGM.

Observers will watch the event to gauge how the Dutch sprinter adapts to his new role. The outcome could shape the team’s strategy for the rest of the season.
