One of the hottest names for the CicloMercato 2025 is that of Lenny Martinez. Coming forward decisively to sign the grimpeur born in 2003 is Visma | Lease a Bike. The little French climber was one of the revelations of last season, but it is in this first part of 2024 that he has shown further and significant progress, which makes him one of the brightest talents for stage racing. Already four victories this season for the representative of the Groupama-FDJwhich however will almost certainly lose it at the end of the year, as we had already written a few days ago.
The sporting director himself confirms the Dutch team’s interest in the prodigious 20-year-old Merijn Zeeman who, speaking to GCNrevealed that the team has spoken with the rider about potentially joining the team from next season: “We’ve had some good chats, there’s nothing concrete yet, but it could happen” Zeeman said Wednesday evening.
Another team strongly interested in the very talented French climber is Bahrain-Victorious. The Emirati team could offer Martinez a greater chance of leadership even in the most prestigious big stage races, such as the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. “I have been following Lenny for three or four years and he will certainly be one of the French stars of the future, but I can’t confirm anything – the Bahrain-Victorious boss said some time ago Milan Eržen always at GCN – We spoke to his agent, but not with him and we don’t have a signature. It’s still at the top of our list.”
