Kasper Asgren: “Jumbo Visma could be a good partner” | Omloop Heat Neusblad 2022

On Saturday, the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad kicks off the Belgian spring. On this page you can read all the news in the lead up to the competition.

  1. 6:30 p.m. “Jumbo-Visma could be a good partner.” Kasper Asgreen expects major competition from Jumbo-Visma. “Definitely after all the reinforcements they brought in this winter. Their classic team suddenly looks a lot stronger.” “But it also means that they will have to take on more responsibility in the race. I think they are not afraid of that and maybe we have a good partner with them to keep the race in check. And we are moving forward.” In the final, there will of course be more rivalry.”†
  2. 6:30 pm.
  3. 6 pm 29. My fitness is fine again. I have fully recovered from the disease. I lost some training, but everything else is under control. I probably won’t be up front on Saturday, but we’ve already added some practice blocks to make up the gap again. By the second half of March, I’ll be on top. Kasper Asgreen (Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl) tested positive for corona earlier this month.

  6. 11 a.m. 26. Oliver Neisen: “I want to be at my best in a little while.” In Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, AG2R-Citroën is based on Greg Van Avermaet, Stan Dewulf and Oliver Naesen, among others. The latter says that he had an “excellent winter”: “I did not get sick, did not catch corona, and did not fall. The light is green.” “I’ve built something different than in previous years. I want to be in good shape from Paris-Nice. But the opening weekend is still important. I train all winter for this and on Saturday I’m going to get chills at first.” †

  8. 17 hours 33. Stuyven arrived late in Belgium. Trek Segafredo will start in Omloop on Saturday with 3 Belgians (Stuyven, Theuns and Vergaerde). Stuyven won the race in 2020, but has already run quite a few races under his belt. Now, just like last year, he has opted to start his season after a stint of training in the highlands in Tenerife in the opening weekend. Stuyven won’t be back until Thursday and therefore won’t be doing any surveys. †
  9. 17 h 31. Jasper Steuvin is currently still in Tenerife, and will not be back in time for the poll. He’s our captain on Saturday, but he’s not over a kilometer yet. So don’t count us among the candidates. Stephen de Jong (Director of Sports Trek-Segafredo).
