# Promising Performance for Team Visma | Lease a Bike Women at Omloop het Nieuwsblad

In a thrilling edition of the Omloop het Nieuwsblad, the Team Visma | Lease a Bike Women showcased their potential despite the absence of Rosita Reijnhout, who was sidelined due to illness. The race began with four riders forming the traditional early breakaway; however, their lead was short-lived as the peloton swiftly took control, setting the stage for the challenging climbs ahead.

As the riders approached the penultimate climb, the Muur van Geraardsbergen, the race dynamics shifted dramatically. Demi Vollering initiated an aggressive attack, causing significant fragmentation within the peloton. Among the strong climbers was Daniek Hengeveld, who performed admirably, ultimately finishing in thirteenth place.

Reflecting on her experience, Hengeveld noted, “It was a very hectic day,” as she embraced an aggressive approach to the race. She expressed her satisfaction with her performance, stating, “I felt good and I’m pleased with how the season has started, but I hope to be a bit stronger at Strade Bianche next week.”

Sports director Jos van Emden echoed this optimism, commending Hengeveld’s efforts: “They did really well. Daniek was in the finale where she needed to be and showed her best today. Katharina also delivered a fantastic performance in her first cobbled classic.”

The final standings saw Demi Vollering emerge victorious, followed closely by Kasia Niewiadoma and Lorena Wiebes in second and third, respectively. The Team Visma | Lease a Bike Women conducted a well-rounded race, positioning themselves for future success in the remainder of the season.
