On the individual time-trial of stage 2 at the 2024 UAE Tour, Tim van Dijke was the best placed Team Visma | Lease a Bike rider with aa 12th placed finish, 25 seconds down on the stage winner Brandon McNulty.
"Overall, it was a decent day for us," reflected Team Visma | Lease a Bike sports director Maarten Wynants post-stage, in conversation with his team's official website. "Tim rode a good time trial, which suits him well. His brother Mick van Dijke, Loe van Belle and Bart Lemmen also finished in the top thirty. With Bart, we secretly hoped for more, but in a short and straight time trial like this he couldn't use his strengths to the fullest. This was an fine result."

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
