Beginning the day with a plan of being active and making sure to be in the break, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL were just that and ensured they were in every move. Eventually the elastic snapped and Frank van den Broek made the move in what was his first ever Tour de France stage. Riding well as a group, the break built up a good lead but the bunch upped the tempo and began to reduce the gap as they headed towards the majority of climbs in the finale. In the peloton, some strong support from the rest of the squad saw the climbers well positioned where Romain Bardet launched a stinging attack to bridge across to Van den Broek in the break, as per the days plan. The Team dsm-firmenich PostNL duo linked up, and rode admirably together, sharing the pace. Eventually they dropped the rest of the breakaway and forged on alone together at the head of the race. Giving everything for each other they kept fighting all the way to the line and they just about held off a charging peloton in a nail-biting finale. Romain Bardet crossed the line first in what is his last Tour de France while in his debut Grand Tour, Frank van den Broek took in second place after a superb ride. The team could sit up and celebrate an incredible victory and one built from pure teamwork and pure racing. With it, the team also moves into the famous yellow jersey ahead of tomorrow’s second stage with Bardet, whilst Van den Broek leads in the green and young rider competition. Next to that, Van den Broek also won the most combative rider for stage one.  Read more 🇬🇧🔗https://lnkd.in/ecbF4JGh Lees meer 🇳🇱🔗https://lnkd.in/e_dvsKCP #KeepChallenging #TDF2024

One last Tour de France, but one more year, with a twist: Team dsm-firmenich PostNL extend contract with Romain Bardet A figurehead of the sport and a rider that is beloved by fans worldwide, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL are pleased to reveal that ahead of what will be his last participation at the Tour de France, they have extended their contract with Romain Bardet through 2025. Hailing from Brioude in France, Romain entered the professional peloton with AG2R La Mondiale in 2012 and has gone on to become one of the most prominent and well-respected riders in the peloton over the years. A leading light and hope for Tour de France glory amongst the French public, Romain’s palmarès speaks for itself with epic second and third places overall at the race in 2016 and 2017. Next to that, he has also taken three stage wins and a famous polka dot jersey. Romain’s career has also impressed with a silver medal at the World Championships and multiple podiums and places of honour in the biggest stage races in the world. Since joining Team dsm-firmenich PostNL in 2021, he tasted success at the Vuelta a España with a memorable stage win, top tens on GC at the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France and a resilient and hard fought second place at Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2024. It’s not just his performances on the bike that should be mentioned, in 2022 he was awarded the ⁠International Fair Play award for his sportsmanship towards fellow rider Julian Alaphilippe, with Romain stopping to assist after Julian was caught up in a heavy crash at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, taking himself out of contention for a result. To those within the team it’s his professionalism, enthusiasm and a genuine true, authentic kindness to his persona that stand out. With his glittering record behind him, 2024 will be Romain’s last full road season. In 2025 Team dsm-firmenich PostNL and Romain will have another tilt at the Giro d’Italia, before his last WorldTour level race at the Critérium du Dauphiné; a race on home soil that holds personal significance for the Frenchman.

CASPER VAN UDEN SPRINTS TO 11TH TEAM DSM-FIRMENICH POSTNL WIN OF THE SEASON Building on strong performances over the last few days, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL secured their second win of the week on home Dutch soil at the ZLM Tour with Casper van Uden, making it eleven wins for the Men’s program in 2024 so far. While the parcours didn’t include many altitude metres, the Dutch winds made it a chaotic and fast day for the peloton. It took a while for a breakaway to establish a small gap, but they were quickly caught when the first splits occurred. Everything came back together before the final 100 kilometres, calming the race momentarily. However, it wasn’t long before the peloton split into two groups again, and another attack created three groups on the road. While the two groups at the back regrouped quickly, the ten riders at the front fought hard to stay ahead. Team dsm-firmenich PostNL took responsibility in the chase, helping to bring things back together, aiming to set up the fast finishing Van Uden for the finish into Roosendaal. The last two riders were eventually caught with only 500 meters to go, but the team did an excellent job to position van Uden, who then sprinted comfortably to a fantastic second win of the week.
