Continental team SEG Racing Academy are searching for a new academy director after current academy director Aike Visbeek confirmed a move to new WorldTour team Circus-Wanty Gobert for the 2021 season.

The Dutch squad is among the leading development teams in cycling, having delivered 27 riders to the WorldTour and ProTeam ranks since it was established in 2015. Alumni include Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Cees Bol (Team Sunweb), Edoardo Affini (Mitchelton-Scott), Koen Bouwman (Jumbo-Visma) and Stephen Williams (Bahrain McLaren).

Meeus and Dekker have been the leading lights on the team during a tough 2020 season, taking five victories between them with Meeus winning the points classification at the U23 Giro d'Italia and Dekker taking a podium spot among WorldTour competition at Le Samyn.
