Dylan van Baarle and Matteo Jorgenson are the spearheads of Visma | Lease a Bike in the Tour of Flanders. The Dutch champion and winner of Dwars door Vlaanderen takes over that role from Wout van Aert, who is not there after his hard fall in DDV. Jan Tratnik is not there.
There were some doubts about Van Baarle’s participation after he fell ill, but the Dutchman has fully recovered. He announced this himself on Thursday via a playful post Strava. “Test, test, check,” was his caption for his training on the popular training app. Tratnik, on the other hand, did not get fit in time for the Tour. The Slovenian crashed in Ghent-Wevelgem. He did get to the start in Dwars door Vlaanderen, but soon had to give up.
Van Baarle will be at the start of the second monument of the season together with Jorgenson, but also with Tiesj Benoot, Per Strand Hagenes, Tim van Dijke, Mick van Dijke and Edoardo Affini. After his nose fracture, Hagenes was initially scheduled for the Volta NXT Classic, but will skip that race and still compete in the RVV.
