UAE Tour

Tom Devriendt ends 9th in royal sprint

The World Tour calendar started this Sunday with the first stage of the UAE Tour (2.UWT, 20-26/02), which ended in the expected bunch sprint. The peloton lined up in Madinat Zayed to cross the desert towards the oasis of Liwa, before making a U-turn and return to where they started after 184 kilometer.

Despite the danger of the wind, the opening stage resulted in a classic race scenario with an early breakaway of five riders who were caught with 19 kilometer to go. Just like one week before in the Tour of Oman, Tom Devriendt was the designed rider for the final. The Belgian rider squeezed through the sprint trains and took ninth place.

Want You Club

Created in 2013 with an innovative concept, the Want You Club (WYC) is the business club bringing together partners of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Currently presided by Dimitri Bauters, its purpose is to offer the sponsors of the team the opportunity to meet, get to know each other, develop relationships and business together.

The Club meets at least 6 times a year, often before the biggest cycling events of the year (a.e. Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Belgian Championship, Binche-Chimay-Binche) to introduce their business and share company news. Currently, more than 85 companies support us.

Our business club is one of the first of its kind in cycling and we are always looking for opportunities to grow bigger and expand our memberships.
