Thymen Arensman back on track with Pologne performance - "It paid off with second place on GC"
CyclingSaturday, 06 August 2022 at 11:30
Thymen Arensman had a great run of form earlier in the year at the Tour of the Alps and the Giro d'Italia, and now he is back on track after a strong Tour de Pologne which has seen him taking his first pro win.
“...We knew it could get a bit tricky if a strong breakaway went so our goal was to try and make sure we could secure second overall and bring Thymen in safely," Team coach Luke Roberts said after the finish. "The boys did a great job helping control in the beginning then when it went riding a good position".
The final stage was a rather calm affair, with the 22-year old sealing his second place in the GC. He was close to the final win, in what would be a very important result for Team DSM. However, it has closed off a successful week in Poland, with Arensman showing the form needed to target the coming races in the calendar.
“Good commitment from the boys all week and we’re happy that it paid off with second place on GC. We can be satisfied with the week, a nice result for all the work that the whole team has put in here," Roberts concluded.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
