Biography

Brothers Danny and Boy Van Poppel will be reunited, as from 2020, in the Circus-Wanty Gobert-Tormans colours. The brothers rode together for three years, after their start in the World Tour in 2013 in the Vacansoleil-DCM team, under the direction of Hilaire Van der Schueren. Their paths went separate ways after one year with Vacansoleil-DCM and two years with Trek. While Boy stayed with Trek until moving to Roompot last summer, Danny switched to Sky and later Jumbo-Visma. The Dutch riders have chosen to integrate in the same team.

Boy Van Poppel, 31 years old, is a fast rider. In 2019 he took a 4th place in Nokere Koerse and a 5th place in the Tour of Limburg. He also came close to the victory in the Tour de Yorkshire (2nd and 4th).
