Looking ahead to the Belgian road race in Izegem, Segaert expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team.

And because I am racing close to my home, it will motivate me even more.”
With his impressive silver medal in the Belgian time trial championships, Alec Segaert is proving himself as a rising star in the world of professional cycling.
