Career

[edit]

Bouwman joined LottoNL–Jumbo in 2016 after riding for the team as a stagiaire the previous season. He competed in his first grand tour in 2016: the Vuelta a España.[4] His first professional win was stage 3 of the 2017 Critérium du Dauphiné.

In May 2018, he competed in his first Giro d'Italia.[5]

In 2019, Bouwman won the mixed team relay with the Dutch team at the UCI Road World Championships.

At the 2022 Giro d'Italia, Bouwman won two stages from the breakaway, giving him enough points to also win the mountains classification.[6][7]
