Both the men's and women's teams started February with races in the Middle East. Olav won two stages in the Tour of Oman, and Nienke secured a podium finish in the first stage of the UAE Tour Women, where Pauline made her debut for our team. There was also success in the Volta ao Algarve, where Jonas claimed both the individual time trial and the general classification.

We kicked off March with the Opening Weekend. Races took place in Belgium and France, where both Olav and Ben finished on the podium. This was also the weekend where Victor returned in black-and-yellow, and Axel made his debut for the team.

The first week of March was also marked by impressive performances from our talents. Imogen won the final stage of the Vuelta a Extremadura Femenina after a great sprint, and Matthew won two races in France! The week ended with a solid third place finish for Pauline in Strade Bianche Donne. Meanwhile, Wout and Tiesj, among others, are at a training camp in sunny Spain.
