Scheldeprijs has once again marked out an important step in the development of Sam Welsford’s career. The Team DSM rider finished second in the prestigious high-speed sprint, making it clear that, in just his second year on the road, he is already amongst the fastest finishers.
The 27-year-old Australian, who has had no shortage of success on the track, finished on the podium for the first time at the 2022 Scheldeprijs. It was an edition that was split by crosswinds so the normal sprint never happened. Alexander Kristoff won alone and Welsford was third.
