After disaster, good news for Team Visma | Lease a Bike - Dylan van Baarle hints at return ahead of Tour of Flanders
CyclingThursday, 28 March 2024 at 19:00
Team Visma | Lease a Bike did win Dwars door Vlaanderen after racing with their numbers, but ultimately it was not a positive day overall as the team lost Wout van Aert for the rest of the classics campaign. However, they have Dylan van Baarle back in racing form it appears.
The Dutch team will start the Tour of Flanders without van Aert and Christophe Laporte, whilst Omloop Het Nieuwsblad winner Jan Tratnik also also uncertain to be present after a knee injury suffered in a crash at Dwars door Vlaanderen. Dylan van Baarle has been far from his best form, but he should be present in Flanders.
Van Baarle supported the team's success at the Opening Weekend and then raced the E3 Saxo Classic without results to his palmarès, but still playing an important support role as a very experienced rider. He posted an activity on Strava named "Test, test, check," hinting at being back to racing condition days ahead of Flanders.
His presence would certainly be important for a team that has been losing several riders due to injuries and illnesses - including himself who missed several races recently. The Dutch team will most likely be protecting Matteo Jorgenson who should be the new team leader after the adverse events.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
