Two days after winning the Heistse Pijl, Arnaud De Lie has again shown his sprinting legs. The 20-year-old Belgian was also the fastest at the end of the Ronde van Limburg. The young Belgian launched an impressive kick to the line and sprinted in an authoritarian manner to his sixth win of the season.
“This is unbelievable, I’m winning the last three races I started in, I can hardly believe it, And what a team performance it was again. The team was truly impressive today and rode their hearts out for me all day long. So I am really happy to reward them with this win.” he said at the end of the day.
The Belgian is on quite a run of form lately, having taken multiple wins against world-class competition and this race was no exception. He relied on the leadout of BORA - hansgrohe at the end, and benefited that the uphill gradients drained Sam Bennett of the possibility of fighting for the win. “The Bora-Hansgrohe train was also really strong today and in the final, I could position myself in the wheel of Sam Bennett thanks to earlier work of my teammates. I stayed focused and entered the final corner in third position;" he added.
"Then it was just the case of going all out until the finish. I really like uphill finishes like these. I love these kind of power sprints, where it’s all about the watts," he said. With a commanding lead he took his sixth win of the season, and keeps a run of form that provides confidence that it won't be the last for the time being.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
