“Team Visma-Lease a Bike” showing their intention for 2024!! A double win at the opener of the road season in Belgium!! The “Omloop Nieuwsblad” saw the clever fox *Marianne Vos* taking the women’s edition, followed by the first ever Slovenian *Jan Tratnik* winning the men’s race. Add the win today of Jonas Vingegaard in the “O Gran Camino” 3rd stage in Spain, where Adam Rafferty (EF Education-Easypost) finished a brilliant 24th, about 52 sec down to Jonas!
