ProTeam Caleb Ewan leads Lotto Dstny at Classic Brugge-De Panne

At the Classic Brugge-De Panne (1.UWT), the sprinters get their chance on winning a Belgian spring Classic. However, the predicted rain and strong winds could cause chaos on the pan-flat course and hinder the sprinters’ plans, which will make the Classic Brugge-De Panne an exciting race. Top sprinter Caleb Ewan leads the Lotto Dstny line-up. He will be supported by a power squad including Cedric Beullens, Jasper De Buyst, Jarrad Drizners, Frederik Frison, Jacopo Guarnieri and Michael Schwarzmann. Nikolas Maes looks ahead.

“The predicted rain and strong winds will surely make for a tough edition of Classic Brugge-De Panne. I expect a severe battle in de Moeren, but actually we need to be attentive at all times because splits could happen almost everywhere. With top sprinter Caleb Ewan at the start, our first goal is to support him as good as possible towards the final. Despite being two completely different races, Caleb has showed his good form at Milan-Sanremo. For what will most likely be a race marked by echelons, we selected a team of power guys who can definitely leave a mark on the race. We are really motivated to show ourselves and target a nice performance at Classic Brugge-De Panne”, concludes sports director Nikolas Maes.
