Despite not having a standout leader for Opening Weekend 2025, the
INEOS Grenadiers were active throughout
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday afternoon. In the end, new signing
Samuel Watson, finished best placed, taking 5th in the final sprint for the line.
After
Joshua Tarling had launched a daring attack earlier in the day, the Welsh powerhouse had managed to get back to the front of the bunch inside the final kilometre, giving Watson a very impressive leadout. In the race for the line though, the 23-year-old Brit ultimately found himself just outpaced by the likes of
Soren Waerenskjold,
Paul Magnier and
Jasper Philipsen.
