The name Warre Vangheluwe wasn't near the top of many people's prediction list heading into stage 2 at the 2024 Tour of Guangxi. As it turned out though, the Soudal - Quick-Step man prevailed in a frantic bunch sprint, much to the surprise of even himself.
“I came to China with high expectations and it’s just incredible I got this victory. I trained hard at home and was very motivated, I even told my friends that I will come back only after I get a win here, so I’m delighted I could do it," Vangheluwe reflected post-stage in quotes collected by Soudal - Quick-Step's official website afterwards. "My job was to lead out Luke Lamperti, but he got boxed in, and the moment the peloton caught Martin I launched my sprint and gave my all to finish it off. I am so happy with this victory.”
