First win after yesterdays Remco exit news🥳

Magnier is really special. He has improved his kick and top speed this year. Today he won by a country mile and he was also clearly the fastest on stage 1, but came from way back and also had to avoid riders in the last bend so had to settle for second behind Koij.

He looks good on the cobbles too. So races like Gent Wevelgem,RVV etc should suit him good. Milano-Sanremo too.

Needs to work on his endurance, but he reminds me somewhat of a light version of MVDP, but he is definitely faster then him in the bunch sprints.

Exciting times ahead🤞

There seemed to be a lot more fuss made over Lamperti when they both joined the team. Has he been injured? Will his contract be renewed as it is up this year?

Wasn’t he going to EF?

He had a promising debut season last year. Struggled with a knee injury this winter and has unfortunatelly stagnated this season. Lacking base and top speed.

Rumours is that he has not been offered a new contract and is going to EF next year.

He definitely has potential in classics and from small group sprints, but this looks like the smart descision for all parties.

Van Baarle transfer confirmed👌 Very good signing to strenghten the classic and GT team👌

Van Baarle is also 33 years old and hasn't had a noticable result since February 2023.

Thats true, but he has been out with a lot of injuries the last two years. Broken collarbone x 2, fractured hip, scapula and hand. His class is undisputed, but ofcourse, like Remco, he needs a longer period without big injuries to get back to top level.

Anyways i think this is a good signing, with his experience he should be a good road captain and role model for up and coming riders in the team, both in training, in the classics and Grand Tours.
