Massi-Tactic women's UCI team at the tour of Flanders in Oudenaarde

Sunday the third of April is the highlight of many cycling fans in Flanders, it is the day “De Ronde” is ridden. Nicknamed “Vlaanderens Mooiste” (Flanders Best) it is a race that lives in the heart of man cycling fans and riders. This year Massi-Tactic had the honour of riding the 158.6km classic.

The 6 girls that lined up for the start in Oudenaarde knew it was going to be a hard day. A race like this is guaranteed to be hard, the best riders in the world line up with a bucket of motivation and form. So you know everything needs to go right and it is essential to avoid mishaps.

However, the chances that everything goes right in a race like Flanders are small. Unfortunately, the Massi-Tactic girls had their fair share of misfortune as well. Mireia Trias and Mireia Benito had an early crash and had to pull out, but will be back racing soon.

Because of the nervous character of the race, there were a few more tumbles that hindered the riders. However, the team put in a great effort to secure a great result. Corinna Lechner and Nathalie Eklund finished in the peloton with Spela Kern coming in a bit further behind. It was a unique experience and a great learning moment to be part of this race.

The next race on the calendar will be in Flanders as well, the Scheldeprijs on Wednesday the 6th of April. Follow along on their Instagram profile.
