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.

- 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
