Career
Fidea (2004–2008)
Born in Sandweiler, Drucker signed with Fidea in 2004, a team specializing in cyclo-cross, at age 18. He rode with this team for five seasons, winning two elite national cyclo-cross championships. He was selected to represent Luxembourg at the World Road Race Championships in 2008, but failed to finish.
Team Differdange (2009–2010)
For the 2009 season, Drucker joined Continental Team Differdange. His success in cyclo-cross continued, winning two more national titles. Drucker went to the World Road Race Championships for the second time in 2009, but again did not finish. He won the prologue of the Flèche du Sud, a UCI 2.2 road race in 2010. Drucker also placed second in the Grote Prijs Stad Zottegem that season.
Wanty–Groupe Gobert (2011–2014)
After spending two seasons with Continental Team Differdange, Drucker joined Veranda's Willems–Accent, a Belgian UCI Professional Continental team. Spending four seasons with the team, he booked no wins, but did finish second overall in the Tour de Luxembourg.
BMC Racing Team (2015–2018)
In August 2014, Drucker signed a contract with BMC Racing Team.[1] While riding for this team, he won the 2015 RideLondon–Surrey Classic, a one-day race in the United Kingdom. Later that year, he was selected to ride in the Vuelta a España.[7] Drucker finished the race in 118th place overall. Drucker's success continued with this team the following year, winning the prologue of the Tour de Luxembourg and the 16th stage of the Vuelta a España.
In May 2018, he was named in the startlist for the 2018 Giro d'Italia.[8]
