While the dying embers of the first race of the 2024 classics season still glow, and before I hit publish on the usual tech gallery and other such pieces from what is always a hectic weekend, I thought I'd bring you the first of what seems like many winning Visma-Lease a Bike bikes.
On a grey but mercifully dry Belgian day, Jan Tratnik beat the rest of the pack at Omloop Het Niewsblad on a bike that is genuinely rather... normal. The only noteworthy difference from what we've seen on the team's bikes in 'regular' racing is the switch to 30mm tyres.
