Career

edit

Although having no major achievements on the road, van der Lee caught the attention of UCI WorldTeam EF Education–EasyPost through his online results on Zwift, where he was ranked as one of the top in the world.[4] Considered a strong climber, his first noticeable outdoor successes came via winning the Omloop van Simpelveld national race and a fourth place finish at the Orlen Nations Grand Prix in 2023.[2] He was recruited by the team to ride as a stagiaire in August 2023 and competed in the Tour de Langkawi, where he placed 13th overall. He joined the team full time the following season on a contract through 2025.[2]
