Dylan Groenewegen may not be delivering publicity for his sponsors by winning races at the moment, but the Dutchman has now switched to delivering groceries for them.
Riding for Jumbo-Visma, which counts the Jumbo supermarket chain among its sponsors, Groenewegen has been riding around delivering groceries to customers who have ordered online.
“No (racing) for a while, but time to help,” he said in a Tweet about his new sideline while out of competition due to Covid19.
“In the coming period, I will deliver groceries by bicycle to the elderly and care providers who are currently unable to do this themselves.”

He also tagged his sponsors in the Tweet in a bid to
generate some good publicity for them, himself and his team.
Groenewegen also shared a link to a website where older, immobile or isolated people can register for assistance during the Covid19 crisis or where those willing and able to help can register to do so.
The 26-year-old has
won a total of five stages in the last three editions of the Tour de France,
including into Paris in 2017.
He had claimed three wins this year before racing was suspended; a stage at UAE Tour and two stages at Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, where he also won the points competition.
