BRUSSELS (Reuters) - World Tour team Deceuninck–Quick-Step have announced that UCI Cycling Esports World Champion Jason Osborne will join their team as a stagiaire -- an amateur who rides with a professional team -- until the end of the season.

Osborne came to the attention of team bosses by winning the 50-kilometre route on the Esports platform Zwift, beating several professional riders to claim glory at the inaugural Esports Worlds last December.
