Jumbo-Visma are the big favourites for the Tour of Flanders and they have revealed their lineup. As they look to battle Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar, the Dutch team will have a strong lineup without Dylan van Baarle but with Wout van Aert and Christophe Laporte.
Following a leg injury suffered during Tirreno-Adriatico, Dylan van Baarle has not been able to reach his best level. The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad winner is skipping De Ronde where he finished second last year as his health has not improved and he keeps suffering from pain over the cobblestones. Tim Van Dijke replaced him as the unexpected figure within the team. Tosh van der Sande and Edoardo Affini will also play a support role in the race.

Wout van Aert is the leader for the Belgian race. After winning the E3 Saxo Classic, his form is evident and his ability to contest with his two main rivals is present. At Gent-Wevelgem he's attacked with Christophe Laporte to victory, and with the Frenchman winning both there and at Dwars door Vlaanderen, the team is highly motivated to work for their leader.
The lineup is completed by Tiesj Benoot and Nathan van Hooydonck who thrived at Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne, finishing first and second. The Dutch team lack a big weapon in van Baarle, but has nevertheless won all three cobbled classics that took place within the past week.
Jumbo-Visma for Tour of Flanders: Wout van Aert, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot, Edoardo Affini, Tosh van der Sande, Nathan van Hooydonck and Tim van Dijke.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
