Wout van Aert and Visma-Lease a Bike have already begun their preparations for the 2026 cobbled Spring Classics with a recon of the roads of Paris-Roubaix and equipment testing up the iconic five-star Carrefour de l'Arbre sector in northern France.
Alongside several teammates, Van Aert and Co. were photographed on their annual test by Flemish daily newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, as they wrapped up warm for the grim weather, which could well be similar to what greets them during the Hell of the North come April.
