After a turbulent fortnight under heavy media scrutiny (particularly
in Belgium)
Team Visma | Lease a Bike showed real signs of recovery at the Tour
of Flanders. While they narrowly missed out on the podium, their performance
marked a much-needed boost during a difficult period for the team.
Wout van Aert, who has been at the centre of the criticism,
delivered a gutsy ride, matching the best riders in the world blow for blow in
the closing stages. Despite not making the top three, his form and resilience
were clear.
