Ronde van Vlaanderen

Koppenberg, Taaienberg, Kanarieberg, Paterberg and Oude Kwaremont. We are on legendary soil and it is the weekend of Ronde van Vlaanderen.

We have 70 employees, friends and colleagues present. It will be something to remember for everyone (depending a bit on the beer consumption…).

I have been staying at the excellent Enjoy Today at the bottom of Koppenberg with the men’s team the last week. We know every corner of the parcours, but so do our competitors. We need to be smart and we need to be patient, but first and foremost we need to learn from the experience. This teams plans to race RVV in many years to come and this is just the start.

I want to develop one of the best classic rosters in the world. It suits our racing style, we love competing in Belgium/France and we have the riders for it. Andersen and Tiller are already world class. They can both fight for the top-10 tomorrow. They will be surrounded by teammates prepared to go deep – Skaarseth, Barnes, Resell, Ottestad +++. We will be Ajax in the Classics with ups and downs, but we will for sure make our mark.

Thanks Flanders Classics for trusting in our long-term visions. We’re immensely proud to be a part of this unique show. It’s time for the De Ronde. See you out there.
