Unfortunately, heavy weather forced organizers to shorten Stage 2 by a significant 100 km. The altered format didn’t play to our riders’ strengths, as the condensed race kept the time gaps tight and left little room to open up the GC. Piotr Havik held 2nd overall, and Arno van den Broeck sat in 4th both targeting a place on the final podium. Stage 3 brought fireworks. A decisive breakaway formed with race leader Tiago Ferreira and our very own Arno Van den Broeck.The duo went all-in and made it stick to the line, with Arno taking the stage win in impressive fashion. His bold move vaulted him from 4th to 2nd overall—an incredible effort against elite competition. Piotr Havik held his ground to secure a strong 3rd place in the general classification, capping off a double podium for the team. Thomas De Gendt unfortunately did not start Stage 3 due to a crash on the previous day. We're wishing him a speedy recovery. On the women’s side, Lucy Hempstead started strong with a 2nd place finish in the prologue, but faced a tougher challenge in Stage 2 and dropped out of podium contention. Still, a promising showing and valuable experience heading into the next block. The team now enters a short training phase before turning focus to the next big target: The Traka.
