Rowe will take up his new position with Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale in November, with a particular focus on next spring’s cobbled classics and rider recruitment.<\/p>\n
“I took a bit of time to reflect on my future and see what the new chapter would be,” Rowe said in an official team announcement.<\/p>\n
“[The] project appealed to me, particularly with the big step forward made this year in terms of performance, but above all with the future project and the long-term vision. <\/p>\n
“I will be eager to bring my experience from the years spent at the highest level and to support the riders, especially in the classics.<\/p>\n
“The other part of this new project is the team\u2019s ambition to become more international. <\/p>\n
“Obviously, there are some incredible French talents but, with this approach, the team can also be a very attractive option for English speakers and international riders looking to join the team.”<\/p>\n
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale have won 30 races this season, its most since 1999.<\/p>\n
Discussing the new role with fellow Welsh cyclist Thomas, Rowe told the 2018 Tour de France winner he expects to be a lot busier than when he was just riding his bike.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a responsibly to the riders,” he said.<\/p>\n
“What you put in has a direct correlation to their results and their performances and as a result their careers and their income.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s just a knock-on effect… a lot of it starts with how much input and what level the DS is at, so I want to try and be the best. <\/p>\n
“If I\u2019m going to do something I want to do it properly and do it 100%.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
