De Lie has already achieved three wins this season, but his performance at Gent-Wevelgem was disappointing due to mechanical problems and unfortunate circumstances. He will be particularly motivated to make a comeback and secure a place on the podium. โI donโt mind the rain and wind. Iโm performing well in this kind of weather and hopefully, this is also the case in
Dwars door Vlaanderen,โ he told on his teamโs website.
Nikolas Maes, the sports director, has high hopes that the chosen roster will achieve victory. โOur team is stronger than only Arnaud De Lie. He is a really promising rider but the team has more strong guys. Just look at Frederik, who already showed some nice things and which he can do again this Wednesday. The team is going really well and we are really motivated to again play a role.โ
