Visma secures control of 4 Jours de Dunkerque GC after strong first stage: "It would be great if we could hold onto those positions in the coming days"

Team Visma | Lease a Bike was present at all fronts during the opening stage of 4 Jours de Dunkerque, with first Per Strand Hagenes in the daily breakaway securing important bonus seconds towards general classification, and later Axel Zingle stole the show with a sprint victory in Amiens.

"I'm not the fastest sprinter at the start, but I know I can position myself well in the final kilometers. Thankfully, everything went perfectly today. I'm incredibly happy with this win, especially after being involved in a crash at the finish yesterday," Zingle reflected after the stage in a team press release.

"We came here as a team aiming for stage wins, and it’s fantastic to already have one in the bag. With both Per and myself well-placed in the GC, it would be great if we could hold onto those positions in the coming days," Zingle concluded with determination.
