Matteo Jorgenson was one of the strongest riders for Visma-Lease a Bike in the 2025 Opening Weekend, but he recognised after finishing Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne that strategically the weekend showed that the squad collectively needed to up their games in the Classics.
Visma had a lot to defend in the 2025 edition of Opening Weekend, after winning the men's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad for a third time in a row from 2022-2024, taking the women's Omloop last year thanks to Marianne Vos and with Wout van Aert following up third on Saturday last February with a victory at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne as well.
