Arnaud De Lie had to settle for 10th place at the end of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, but the Lotto-Dstny rider will draw encouragement for the remainder of the Spring from his display against the collective might of Visma-Lease A Bike.
Although Jan Tratnik ultimately claimed victory in Meerbeke, the race didn’t run entirely according to Visma-Lease A Bike’s plan, and De Lie reckoned that he and Toms Skuijsn (Lidl-Trek) had been the strongest in the key six-man move that formed inside the final 50km.
