Marijn van den Berg started cycling when he was seven. His dad would take him and his older brother out on the roads near their home, which was just outside the Dutch city of Utrecht. For a while, Marijn wasn’t sure if he had much talent for racing, but he enjoyed getting the most out of himself on the bike. He rose through the ranks, riding for Dutch teams, before moving to France in 2021. That season, he had a breakout year, winning eight races with the juniors, including two stages of the Tour de l’Avenir. He is a strong sprinter who can get to the finish of hard-fought hilly races.

In 2022, his first season in the WorldTour, he earned a number of top-ten places. In 2023, he put to use all that he learned from his rookie season, taking wins at Trofeo Ses Salines–Alcudia and stage wins at the Tour of Poland and La Route d'Occitanie–La Dépêche du Midi. He earned the sprinter's jersey at Région Pays de la Loire Tour and La Route d'Occitanie–La Dépêche du Midi and finished his first grand tour at the Vuelta a España.

Last year was Marijn’s best yet. He won his first WorldTour race, out of a bunch sprint on the fourth stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, and won his first stage race, the Région Pays de la Loire Tour, where he also took home the sprinters’ jersey and two stage wins, as well as rode his first Tour de France. At the Tour, Marijn was consistently up there in sprints, duking it out with the fastest riders in the race.

This year, he has been training hard and continued to work on his sprint. After a strong early season campaign, crowned with a win at the Trofeo ses Salines and GC podium at the Tour de la Provence, Marijn is determined to be even faster at the Tour and try to pull off a dream victory.

Harry Sweeny joined our team in 2024 and quickly became a key rider for us in the classics and grand tours. This is the Australian’s fifth season as a pro.

Harry is still discovering his limits as a racer. As a U23, he won Il Piccolo Lombardia and has since ridden the Tour de France, where, as a rookie, he finished third on a stage and rode onto the Champs-Élysées in the break, as jets trailed bleu, blanc, et rouge streaks into the sky overhead. He has raced Paris-Roubaix in the wet and Liège-Bastogne-Liège alongside his friend, the former winner and cycling legend, Philippe Gilbert. Last year, he finished seventh on GC at the Tour of Luxembourg after riding hard for his teammates all season. Harry believes that his best is yet to come.

He came to cycling late. As a kid growing up in Brisbane, where his family moved when he was a child, he played soccer and rugby and did gymnastics and swam. He took up triathlon as a schoolboy, but focused on cycling when he was a junior and was recovering from a running injury. He started out racing local crits. His athleticism soon shone and he was picked to race the world championships in Richmond, Virginia for the Australian national team.

He moved to Europe to race, first for a small junior team in Belgium, and then for two years with the Australian Institute of Sport squad, which was then based in Italy, before moving back to Belgium for his final year as an U23. Those years opened up new worlds for Harry.

EF Education-EasyPost’s open-minded international character is a big draw for him. On the teams he has raced for in the past, he has often been one of the few foreigners. Our team is made up of riders and staff from dozens of nationalities. Most of them know what it is like to build a life far from home and can help with all of the little difficulties that come with that. Our multicultural make up helps us to expand our outlook and think beyond traditional ways of doing things too.

Harry is a lot more than a bike racer. He is a keen cook and he loves to go camping and hiking with his girlfriend, an environmental scientist, near their adopted home in Andorra. In the winter, he loves to ski. And he is a YouTuber.

This summer, Harry will return to the Tour de France in EF Education-EasyPost pink. We know that we can always count on him to be where we need him to be when it counts – and to bring a laugh to the bus.

Ben Healy is one of the best young bike racers of his generation. Born and raised near Birmingham, the 24-year-old is proud of his Irish roots and honored to wear the Bratach na hÉireann stripes on his sleeve as a former Irish road race national champion.

The 2023 season was Ben’s breakout year. After winning the GP Industria & Artigianato and a stage at Coppi e Bartali, he finished second at Brabantse Pijl and second at the Amstel Gold Race. And then he went and won a stage at the Giro d'Italia with a 50km solo. Ben followed this up in 2024 with a stage win at the Tour of Slovenia and an inspired Tour de France which saw him climb like never before in service of his teammates. He rolled into 2025 more motivated than ever and capped off his spring with a huge solo stage win at Itzulia Basque Country, third place at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, fourth at Strade Bianche, as well as top tens at La Flèche Wallonne and the Amstel Gold Race. He won stage 6 of the 2025 Tour de France with a stunning solo attack and then rode into yellow on stage 10.

Results like that are a testament to his tenacity.

Ben blazed his own way to the pro ranks. He was riding at his local track by the time he was five years old. Growing up, he was there every Sunday morning to train and race. But his first love was mountain biking. That meant hucking himself off the established track for a young bike racer in Britain. Ben dropped out of the academy and decided to go it alone.

Racing mountain bikes and road bikes on smaller teams, he soon had stage wins at the Giro Ciclistico d’Italia and the Ronde de l’Isard to his name, as well as Irish road and time trial championship titles. In 2019, Ben became the youngest ever winner of a stage at the Tour de l’Avenir.

He has since shown that he can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world in the sport’s greatest races.

Ben loves getting in breakaways and surprising his rivals with his daring attacks. He is as aero as anyone in the peloton and is always looking for the latest edge.

Away from the races, Ben likes big cities and hanging out with his friends and his dog Olive in Andorra.

He is an explosive climber, who wants to find out what he can do over the course of a grand tour. So does the rest of the world. The only thing that’s for certain is that Ben Healy is going to keep racing his own way.

Alex Baudin won the Tour de Limousin last year, finished second at the Coppa Bernocchi, and came third on GC at the Tour of Guangxi, but the 23-year-old from the French Alps says that his most memorable ride is still a month-long bikepacking adventure he took across Europe. He is going to fit right in in his first season in EF Education-EasyPost pink.

Alex is a punchy climber, who excels at sustained, explosive efforts like the Ardennes classics demand. His favorite race that he has done so far is the Clásica de San Sebastián. He also likes the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and Québec, because his uncles, who now live in Canada, can come to cheer. But Alex always returns home to the Alps and the roads he has been riding ever since he was a child.

He first fell in love with cycling when he was four-years-old. His dad was a racer and would take him up into the mountains to watch the Tour de France whenever the race neared their Albertville home. Alex was soon tearing up climbs like the Cormet de Roselend with his father, emulating the heroes he’d seen attacking through the colorful crowds. His dad was his first coach and had to tell him to slow down.

As Alex got older, he began to train harder and soon established himself as one of the most promising young climbers in France. The mountains are where he is most at home.

As soon as snow falls in the Alps, Alex heads to his local cross-country trails. Gliding across meadows and through forests is a great way for him to build his fitness and get away from it all.

To fuel all his time outside, Alex also loves to cook. When he is done cycling, Alex thinks he might become a chef.

For now, his focus is 100 percent on cycling. He wants to fly in his first year in pink.

This summer, Alex will make his Tour de France debut. Watch him soar in the mountains all around France this July.

In his first year in EF Education-EasyPost pink, Danish classics star Kasper Asgreen wants to add to his impressive list of victories. He has already notched a Giro d’Italia stage win to his tally, which includes the Ronde van Vlaanderen, E3 SaxoBank Classic, and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, as well as a stage at the Tour de France and four Danish time trial titles.

He joined our team because he was impressed with our squad’s attacking style. That’s how Kasper loves to race, too – when the peloton explodes, and he has to make split-second decisions on the fly, pick his moment to go, and then ride with everything he has to the line, he comes into his own. That’s why he loves the spring classics and hard breakaways.

Kasper learned how to race when he was a kid in Denmark, where he started out riding for the local club in Kolding, the small university city where he now lives with his wife and which he will always call home. Before he took up cycling, Kasper rode horses. From the age of four, he competed in dressage. He still draws on his childhood equestrian experience now as a pro bike racer. It taught him discipline: the value of showing up and putting in the work no matter what.

Bike racing was tough for him at first. Kasper didn’t win a race for his first three years. He loved the sport nonetheless and was soon making fast progress. Now, he is one of the best one-day racers in the world.

Still, Kasper’s love of the sport is what drives him. Being a pro comes with pressures and hard times, but he knows that it is a privilege to be a bike racer. He races better when he is enjoying the sport, and he enjoys the sport most on a winning team.

That’s what we’re bringing to the 2025 Tour de France. Kasper Asgreen is raring to race.

Michael Valgren returned to the WorldTour in a big way in 2024. In his first grand tour back after a career-threatening injury, he put in a powerful performance at the Giro d’Italia, finishing second and fourth on stages and riding strong for the whole three weeks. This year, he wants to continue on that trajectory and get back to his winning ways. This is his fifth year on our team and Michael’s 11th year as a pro.

Michael already has eight pro wins to his name, including Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the Amstel Gold Race.The races he loves most are the classics. Michael shines on the cobbles and on short, punchy climbs.

He grew up in Østerild, on the west coast of Denmark, and when he was a kid, he would race between towns by the North Sea, pretending that he was in the Tour de France. His favorite road is still the stretch through the dunes between the fishing villages of Klitmøller and Hanstholm, where he got started. He lives in Denmark now with his family and enjoys taking his kids out on the local roads whenever he is home.

Italian powerhouse Vincenzo Albanese is excited to step up his game and to add to the solid list of results he has earned during his first eight years as a pro with some big wins in his first season in our signature pink.

He already got a huge one on stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse.

Vincenzo lives in the hills around Florence but is most at home when he is racing over the Belgian cobbles, rattling up bergs and sprinting into corners in the wind. He is a strong asset for us during the spring classics. In 2024, Vincenzo finished in the top ten at 19 races, including the E3 Saxo Classic, Binche-Chimay-Binche, and the Circuit Franco-Belge. Earlier in his career, he won the Trofeo Matteotti and a stage of the Tour du Limousin.

He has been racing since he was six years old and can navigate a peloton like it is his second nature. As a U23, Vincenzo won seven races, including a stage at the Tour de l’Avenir and the Trofeo Matteotti, a professional race he rode with the Italian national team.

That performance earned him his first contract and kick started his racing career. Vincenzo has since developed into a consummate professional. He is a consistent performer who is ready to work for his teammates across all terrain from the start to the end of the season. He has ridden the Giro d’Italia four times and, though he loves his national grand tour, now wants to bring his three-week racing strength to the Tour de France to help his new EF Education-EasyPost teammates and go for a stage win.

This summer, he will get his chance. At the age of 28, Vincenzo will make his Tour de France debut. It’s a dream come true for him – and he is determined to make the most of it.
