Kasper Asgreen is leaving EF Education–EasyPost after just two seasons for NSN Cycling Team — a squad still finding its footing after rebranding from Israel-Premier Tech in 2026. At 31, he's betting on a bigger voice over a bigger name.
The move is Asgreen's third team in three years: eight seasons at Soudal Quick-Step, two at EF Education–EasyPost, and now a two-year deal with NSN starting 2027. He cited the team's vision for winning races collectively, not just individual glory — which reads as a pointed contrast to what he didn't find at his previous stops. NSN General Manager Kjell Carlström called him «exactly the versatile rider we want to add to the team» and expects him to function as both leader and domestique. For a rebranding WorldTeam building its identity, a Tour of Flanders winner with a flexible role profile is exactly the kind of signing that signals intent.
