Soudal - Quick-Step have had a very tough Opening Weekend without any meaningful result, but will try to turn that around at Le Samyn where they've announced a strong lineup in support of Kasper Asgreen and Fabio Jakobsen.
This will be Asgreen's debut in the cobbles, he was a last-minute absence this weekend following illness. The 2021 Tour des Flandres winner will be looking to get back to his race rhythm and will be one of the big favourites. Despite being a tough race, the duo of Fabio Jakobsen and Michael Morkov come as well in a leading position in case a sprint is to be had.

“Samyn is a hard and technical race, with a tricky finale that is perfect for the attackers, so we’ll have to pay attention to these moves, because they will come," team DS Wilfred Peeter said in a press release. "We are happy to have Kasper back, while Fabio will be our option in case of a bunch sprint, so we hope to get a good result at the end of the day.”

- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
