The 28-year-old only started with road cycling at the age of 23. However, he won the Tour du Jura in 2018 and finished eighth for Lotto-Soudal at the 2019 Vuelta a España.

“I look forward to evolving further in a team with these ambitions,” Carl Fredrik said. “Working together with some of the world’s best riders. It’s going to be exciting and fun to be integrated into a new team, which hasn’t yet reached its full potential. We’ll build up together toward success in the coming years. I’m looking for a role and an opportunity to achieve some good results in the GC and individual stages, as well as to support the team captains to succeed in the mountains.”
Israel Start-Up Nation’s manager Kjell Carlstrom added: “Carl Fredrik showed remarkable things in his first year in the World Tour, with top ten overall placings in several stage races, including the Vuelta.
“We believe he has the potential to go further. We see him having a double position in the team – he can learn and gain more expertise while being a great help to our other riders and getting his own chances in other races, including Grand Tours.”
While the 2020 Tour looks very promising, the 2021 Tour might be even better. Do you think Chris Froome will add to his tally of seven Grand Tour wins?
UPDATE: The ISN announced another super-domestique!
