A former Dutch national champion raised in the Jumbo-Visma school, Eenkhoorn is the engine-room all-rounder every sprint train needs. In his second season with the Wolfpack he slots into Merlier's lead-out while keeping a licence to hunt stage podiums from breakaways in his third Tour. He finished his first Tour with the team in 2025 and returns as one of its most versatile workers.
