Biography

[edit | edit source]

As a junior, Boven was active in both cyclo-cross and road cycling. In cyclo-cross, he participated in the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup and UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships without achieving top results. On the road, he drew attention, especially in his second season as a junior. In 2019 he became Dutch Junior Champion in the individual time trial and won the silver medal in the same discipline at the European Championships.[4] In the UCI Junior Nations' Cup, he finished third in the junior race of Paris–Roubaix and second in the general classification of the Tour du Pays de Vaud.

In 2020, Boven joined the Jumbo-Visma Development Team, the development squad for the Jumbo-Visma World Tour team.[5] His father, Jan Boven, works there as a directeur sportif. In September, he won a stage of the Bałtyk–Karkonosze Tour.[6] In the U23 category, he achieved his first success in his first season by winning the third stage of the Bałtyk-Karkonosze Tour.[6] In the 2021 season, he achieved two prologue victories in smaller stage races, before winning the overall classification of the Flanders Tomorrow Tour in the 2022 season.[7] He also won the bronze medal with the national team in the U23 mixed relay at the 2022 UEC European Road Championships. Although Boven was still riding for the development team in 2023, he was already used several times in the UCI WorldTeam, including in the Deutschland Tour 2022 and the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2023.

After four years in the Jumbo-Visma Development Team, Boven was not taken over into their elite team. However, for the 2024 season he received a professional contract with the UCI WorldTeam Alpecin-Deceuninck.[8] The best result in his debut season as a professional cyclist was a third place in a stage of the 2024 Tour Down Under.
