“I am very grateful for all the lessons you taught me and of course the best lead-out for my first professional victory ever.” Nys won the second stage of the Tour of Norway in 2023 thanks to Stuyven.
Stuyven says goodbye to Lidl-Trek
Stuyven also said goodbye to Lidl-Trek on his social media. “It’s hard to summarize what this team has meant to me – the people, the places, the moments that have shaped my career and who I am today. From my first race to my last in these colours, Trek has always felt like home.”
At Soudal Quick-Step, Stuyven wants to have his chance as leader in the classic spring. With a fifth place in the E3 Saxo Classic and the Tour of Flanders, Stuyven also proved that he can have those ambitions.
