Arnaud de Lie has returned to his winning ways, taking the fourth triumph of the season at the Grote Prijs Marcel Kint, and taking more important points for Lotto Soudal who are attempting to stay at World Tour level.
“Yes, maybe that was my best sprint of the season. But that's thanks to the team. The lead-out was perfect today," de Lie said in a post-race interview. The 20-year old is a neo-pro, however is currently the rider who has brought a very meaningful amount of points towards the Belgian team's tally.
“I had an incredibly good feeling today. We did everything we could to make the race as hard as possible and we succeeded. After the different climbs, we aimed for a sprint with the reduced group. That turned out perfectly for us," he added.
Whilst Caleb Ewan will focus on the Tour de France, de Lie has been focusing on the Belgian semi-classics where he's not only been very successful, but also proven to be more than just a sprinter. Over the next few weeks he will have more opportunities to win, and he will likely follow a sharp period of racing until the national championships.

- Surely the question should be what else are they using as they smash climbing records? Records that have stood since the EPO era.DJ14-11-2024

- Tom has a bit of an overblown image of himself. Contrast him to Pog- night and day.ScottG14-11-2024
- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
