AG Insurance - Soudal to Dwars door het Hageland

Five of our Devo riders will be in action this Saturday.

Dwars door het Hageland is a relatively young race on the women's calendar, but it makes up for it with its unpredictability. The 84 km course between Betekom and Aarschot features narrow roads and multiple climbs that can split the peloton and leave only a select group at the front heading into the final ten kilometres.

AG Insurance - Soudal will line up with a young squad led by Amandine Fouquenet, who will be joined by fellow U23 riders Leonie Bentveld, Anna Bruneel - winner of three races this season, including Chrono Opperinge - Billy Goossens, Nina Lavenu - winner of the City of London Nocturne last week - and Marith Vanhove, who has amassed a string of solid results in one day races since the start of the season.

“The race has changed compared to previous years, as the distance is shorter and the gravel sections are out. There are still some hard climbs on the menu, which will make the race hard. Our young riders are ready to show themselves on this demanding parcours and go on the offensive, so we hope to get a good result at the end of the day”, said sports director Stijn Steels.
