Danish Cyclist Kasper Asgreen to Join NSN in 2027

Danish cycling talent Kasper Asgreen is set to join the NSN team, signing a deal that will see him compete for the squad in the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The announcement was made by NSN, which expressed significant enthusiasm about the acquisition.

Kasper is precisely the versatile rider, we wished to add to our squad, and we expect him to have a great influence both as a leader and as a teammate.

General manager Kjell Carlström described Asgreen as precisely the "versatile rider" the team sought to add to its roster. Carlström anticipates Asgreen will have a substantial impact both as a leader and a teammate. "He is a fighter, whether it's on the cobblestones, in a breakaway, setting the pace at the front of the peloton, or in a time trial," Carlström stated. The team looks forward to leveraging his aggressive and opportunistic approach, which has led to numerous victories.

NSN, now operating under a Swiss license and a new name after previously being known as Israel-Premier Tech, views Asgreen's arrival as a strategic move to bolster its "ambitions in classic races." Asgreen has a strong record in these demanding events, including victories in the Tour of Flanders, Saxo Bank Classic, and national championships for both road race and time trial. He has also secured stage wins in the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.

He is a fighter, whether it's on the cobblestones, in a breakaway, when he sets the pace at the front of the peloton or in a time trial. His aggressive and opportunistic approach has earned him victories in a wide range of races, and we look forward to seeing what he can achieve in the coming years.

Asgreen himself expressed his motivation for the move, noting the "motivation the team showed" when Carlström contacted him. He is eager to contribute to the team's goals and looks forward to the mutual benefits of their collaboration.

When Kjell contacted me, it was really nice to feel the motivation the team showed towards me, and to hear what the sporting management thought we could both contribute.
