“We have 10 new runners…”
Van Melsen looked back on the 2024 season of his training: “I think we had two very important victories with the range at Ghent-Wevelgem and at the Baby Giro. So, like last year, we didn't have more than 20 victories, but yes, we had several good victories and those on Ghent-Wevelgem and on the Baby Giro were real victories.”
“Yes, there will be challenges next year because we have a lot of good talent coming into the team. We have 10 new riders, so it's very different from last year. But it's sure we have great talents like Felix Orn-Kristoff, Halvor Dolven, Tobias Muller. Many runners with different profiles arrived… Maxence Place made a big impression on me, he showed a lot of good things”, he adds regarding 2025.
