At the beginning of April Jumbo-Visma will head towards two of their main goals of the 2023 season: Tour des Flandres and Paris-Roubaix. The latter has already seen a group of riders exploring the roads, as both Wout van Aert and Dylan van Baarle rode together in the French cobbles.
In 2022 they were first and second in the French monument, this season they will race together to try and win it again. Both have united at Jumbo-Visma, together with Christophe Laporte and a well-rounded classics team they will likely make for the team to beat throughout the spring. After a training camp in Spain, some riders have done their first recon of the current state of the cobbled.
In a ride this Wednesday, shared by several of the riders, the group rode around 115 kilometers above 30Km/h in the flat roads. Wout van Aert, Dylan van Baarle, Edoardo Affini, Timo Roosen and Mick van Dijke at the very least were all confirmed to be there, and may form the main block. Laporte and Nathan van Hooydonck are expected to complete the seven-man lineup for the French race, if all goes to plan.
