"I'm really pleased to be joining Team BikeExchange for next year," said Maas. "It was really a nice surprise to know that I would be part of the team, but I was confident because I had a really good season, so I was expecting that something good could come.
"I think Team BikeExchange is one of the best teams in the world, and during the last season, I did a few races with my future teammates, and they look solid and professional and like a family to grow up in. The latter is an essential aspect for me because I believe in the team, and I believe joining this team is the right choice, and I'm sure that I will improve. I'm a rider that likes climbing, undulating routes, and I am sure that the team will support me in my growth. I'm looking forward to meeting my new teammates and all the staff. It's a dream come true."
