On May 19, 2024, the Myvelo Pro Cycling Team had to conquer 4 km of cobblestones and 32 km of dirt roads.

On 28mm tires and the Verona racing bike, we covered a total of almost 190km through the port area and the surrounding area of Antwerp.

After a fast first hour of racing, with an average speed of just under 47 km/h, the Myvelo Pro Cycling Team was able to position itself well in the field before entering the first cobblestone sectors 120 km from the finish.

Timon Loderer managed to stay in the lead until just a few kilometers before the end. At the finish, he described an extremely tough race and an epic route.

However, the team does not have much time to catch their breath, as the German professional race "Rund um Köln" takes place on May 26th, as well as the "Ronde de l'oise" in northern France from May 30th to June 2nd, where the drivers want to show their best side again.
