In the final stage of Tour of Taihu Lake, De Schuyteneer once again featured prominently, sprinting to third place, while Milan Menten finished in fifth position. “It was another challenging race with a consistently high pace, averaging around 50 km/h. A breakaway never really established itself", Sports Director Kurt Van De Wouwer reflected.

Summarizing the team’s performance, Van De Wouwer emphasized the strong collective effort: “Although we did not take a stage victory, we can be very satisfied with the outcome. The riders performed strongly throughout the whole week. With Steffen (De Schuyteneer) taking third place overall and the youth jersey, and Milan (Menten) finishing sixth in the General Classification, we can look back on this race with great satisfaction.”

De Schuyteneer expressed his appreciation for the team’s support and his pride in the result: “The team was exceptionally strong this week, and everyone executed their role perfectly. I am very happy with my third place and with the overall performance of the team.”
