Major team sponsor Jumbo, a Dutch supermarket chain and scheme supporter, Groenewegen has been doing his bit by delivering food around his native Amsterdam in between turbo trainer sessions in his race kit and racing bike.

The sprinter took to social media to offer up his services and posting a photos of a job he had completed earlier.

Groenewegen saide, "Ther are no races for a while, so time to help. I will deliver groceries by bicycle to the elderly and care providers who are currently unable to do this themselves. Do you need help as a care provider or older person or do you want to help?"
