Bedankt voor alles Robert! Je bent een prachtig boegbeeld van het Nederlandse wielrennen. Altijd genoten van je inzet en passie.
Although Gesink is not the superstar in the team, his effort never goes unnoticed! Last year in Vuelta, I was so amazed by his ability to pull. I actually talked about how amazing he was throughout the race. Your presence will be missed, Gesink. All the best to you!
A wonderful honor for a class act! What a career! Congrats on your upcoming retirement. I love that his children were able to be a part of what he did.
A lovely tribute to Robert and lovely images with his family. Imagine baby Wout and the youngest Gesink in the peloton together when they grow up.
Robert Gesink has been one of my favorite riders. I remember him as a GC guy earlier in his career. Now I call him the happy domestique. His work ethic is second to none and yet he seems to totally enjoy every minute of it. In last year's Vuelta, he was amazing doing very long pulls at the front of the peloton day after day. It has been a long and illustrious career for Robert, one to be very proud of. While we may not see Robert in the peloton after this year, I hope it is not the last we see of him in cycling. Best wishes to you, Robert. May you enjoy your retirement and time with your family. This American fan will miss the happy domestique!.
Happy domestique! Exactly!
Great tribute! I have a signed yellow jersey from Robert's 2012 TOC victory! I even wear it on rides every so often
Lovely tribute, great rider!! All the best to Robert. Look forward to seeing him in his final race as a pro.
He is the ultimate professional. He was a beast for Wout today. Dylan went down, but the Wiley vet stepped right up. He should be a Sports Director one day soon. What an incredible teammate.
Wise words from a rider from another time, when cycling was still cycling from the old guard.
Beautiful clip, for a special person! Very touching tribute for a rider who is very loyal to his team, absolutely unique! Thanks Robert.
As VLB undergoes a bit of a baby boom, it's neat to see Robert and his slightly older kiddos and the love of travel and sport that he's been able to share with them. This season has been giving me all the feels! ❤
Sooo sad that Robert is retiring😔
I hope Visma could find someone as good and as talented as Robert.
Salute to you Robert!🙋♂
Its absolutly amazing, prety and heardbreaking. We will miss you Robert❤😢
Just beautiful. I've only been a cycling fan for a handful of years so I wasn't aware of him until last year's Vuelta. I feel in love with him immediately, he blew my mind. Enjoy your off-season, Robert!
Amazing! What a great recognition of an outstanding team rider.
Very nice to honor him in this way. Congrats on your carreer Robert
One of the best Pros in the peloton,great dedication anda great person.All the bestfor the future.
I wish Robert all of the very best for the future. Dit is niet het begin van het einde, maar het einde van het begin
Congratulations to Robert! He's been a HUGE reason for teams' successes! Not everyone can be in the limelight and it's important to recognize those who bring leaders like Sepp, Jonas, Jorgensen, and Van Aert to the finish line!!
Robert is such a champion. Thank you Robert, I can’t wait to see what you going to do next.
Congratulations and all the best Robert!
長年の活躍に感動しました。そしてとても素敵なチームですね 感動をありがとう！
Very nice 'salute' to Robert. Wishing him continued strong legs as this last Vuelta rolls on. CHAPEAU, RG,
Gefeliciteerd met je carrière Robert! Ik ben blij dat ik vele uren heb mogen genieten van jouw werk, ijsberend, juichend of vloekend voor de tv.🫡👏
Bedankt Robert, ik heb genoten van jou prestaties! Zal ook nooit vergeten dat we allebei rond dezelfde tijd in 2014 een catheter-ablation hebben gehad om van onze boezem-fibrillatie af te komen. Ik fiets ook nog steeds op 63 jarige leeftijd, dus ik hoop dat jij ook nog lang kan genieten van het fietsen.
He will be missed. I hope he will keep posting beautiful photos after he retires
Transitioned from protected rider to top domestique in a gracious professional way. Complete soldier.
Legend
Thank you for all Robert
This brought tears to my eyes. I have always liked him because I see him working so hard for his team leaders.
I wish him all the best in his new endeavors. Hopefully Visma lease a bike can hire him in another capacity in the team.
All the best to him his family and the team.
He's had so many bad injuries. It's amazing he keeps coming back.
Bedankt Robert! 🇳🇱
Pushing pedals makes life worth living, you can bet on it guys, cycling is the most exciting adventure of life above all, my very favorite one. Try to imagine what a huge inspiration cycling champions become for the young generations, that's what can change the world we all are dreaming about 🎉❤🎉 all made of riders if possible
Prachtig filmpje en aandacht voor deze klasbak van het Nederlandse wielrennen! Gefeliciteerd met een geweldige carriere Robert! Wat een bikkel ook met zoveel fighting spirit om steeds weer terug te keren na diverse nare valpartijen! Visma gaat volgend jaar een zware kracht missen 🦾We gaan ervan uit dat je Madrid haalt na een sterke Vuelta om daar met het team nog een goed afscheidsfeestje te vieren 🙌👏🎩
Succes Robert. Volg je al vanaf de Belkin tijd. Geniet van de last dance
Congrats to this career! Have fun and vamos in Vuelta!
Look at that physique w shirt off. That’s a life of dedication, staring rt at you
zijn nuchterheid en bescheidenheid is een mooi voorbeeld
Ik wens je een mooie veilige Vuelta en daarna een prachtig verder leven
Great video... happy for his family!
I’m really gonna miss him
These are fantastic.
Mooi! En verdiend, wat een voorbeeld voor veel renners? Dank Robert! (Je was vandaag weer heerlijk op kop aan het sleuren)
