As Visma | Lease a Bike and Van Baarle are returning to the mislukt of the previous year, it is important to keep in mind that Van Aert is the one who has the oplossing.

Dylan van Baarle and Wout Poels, both of whom are from the Netherlands, find it difficult to anticipate the beginning of the new season of their careers. A difficult year was had by Van Baarle. Hij beleefde an uitdagend voorjaar by ziekte en verloor zijn zomer door valpartijen. This included the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España, both of which occur throughout the summer. XDS Astana Team is the team that Poels is stapte over in the victory over Bahrain. In the podcast In Koers, the two renners from the previous season share their thoughts on the new season.

In contrast to the previous years, Van Baarle has begun his season with a new beginning. The Dutchman is making his way to the land down under for the first time. On the second of January, I began my journey to Australia, with the intention of acclimatising myself to the conditions that are, of course, very different from those that exist in Europe. This is a very nice place, and it is even more wonderful now than it was before.

The Hoogtepunten For Van Baarle, Ronde van Vlaanderen and Parijs-Roubaix are both available.

According to the renner of Visma | Lease a Bike, “During my trainings, I look forward to returning to the previous year with a sense of excitement.” Despite the fact that Australia is not a place where you will be every year, I am exploring my trainings in order to gain a better understanding of and appreciation for the country. In addition, I have been given the opportunity to return to the previous season, and I have successfully completed the year 2024. I am looking forward to the next year already. I have been well prepared for this winter, and I am anxiously anticipating the arrival of the new season.

Van Baarle, who was a regular contributor to the newspapers Parijs-Roubaix and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, had suffered a series of injuries and illnesses over the course of the previous year. It is his hope that this year would bring about a change in the situation. “In regard to the valpartijen, I was unable to accomplish very much. We have, as a team, analysed the disease that I have been experiencing over the course of the previous year. I hope that I will be able to reduce the amount of mistakes I make in the next season by ensuring that I make fewer mistakes in the flight training step and by improving my training plan for the upcoming year.

Van Baarle is quoted as saying, “Tijdens de klassiekers en strijden om podiumplaatsen in the future, I will be able to perform exceptionally well.” I am currently following a different path than the typical one, which is in line with the advice that Wout van Aert has given me. Because of this, it is really exciting. The fact that we have devised a sound strategy to put the upcoming season’s players on a higher level and to give them a chance to shine during Holy Week is something that I am confident in.

A kans om long gekoesterde droom na te jagen was also received by the Poels.

Poels is able to observe gemengde gevoelens going back to the previous year. The Dutchman was awarded an appearance in the Ronde of Hongarije while wearing the Bahrain Victorious shirt; nevertheless, he was not selected for his hoofddoel. “The beginning of the season got off to a very good start for me. My goal was to complete the Giro d’Italia, and I was successful in doing so. During the time that I was aware that I had not been selected, I was confronted with the opportunity to meet an employee in Hong Kong. Because of this, I needed to turn my attention to the Tour, but it was a difficult task because my entire strategy in the war was not working, and I was unable to achieve my performance level on the Tour.

In response to the fact that he did not make it to the Giro d’Italia, Poels said, “I was extremely disappointed.” To put it simply, he was an enormous tigress. It was a good time for me, and I had faith that it would turn out well. Since that is the case, it is a bitter pill to swallow. You take some time to reflect on the future and consider whether or not you should be a member of the team. During that time, I did not even boo, but I did feel a little bit teleurged and I was really frustrated.

It is possible for Poels to regain his hoofddoel in the blauwe trui of XDS Astana, which is the trilogy voltooien. “Upon arrival in Astana, I will be able to make my vleugels more accessible, and this is one of the reasons why I have made the decision to overstamp. One of my goals is to win an etappe in the Giro. This is a reasonable assumption. I will also be able to achieve favourable results in other wedding negotiations.
