Steimle claims first victory of the season for Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team

In a spectacular display of strength and strategy, Jannik Steimle emerged victorious at the 2024 Grand Prix de Denain this Thursday, March 14th, marking his seventh professional win and the maiden triumph for the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team in 2024.
The 27-year-old German, making his debut appearance at the GP de Denain, surged ahead as part of an early breakaway alongside Maxime Jarnet (Van Rysel – Roubaix), Paul Hennequin (Nice Métropole Côte d’Azur), Ceriel Desal (Bingoal WB), and James Fouché (Euskaltel – Euskadi), establishing a commanding lead of over six minutes on the peloton after just 20 kilometers of racing. Overcoming the challenging 196.2 km route, peppered with 12 cobblestone sectors, the quintet maintained their advantage as the kilometers ticked by.

As the race approached its final 60km, the breakaway dwindled to three riders, yet they maintained a comfortable lead of over three minutes, affording them a strategic advantage. Despite the narrowing gap as they entered the last cobbled sector within the final 15km, a crash within the chasing group alleviated the pressure on the leaders, paving the way for Steimle’s triumphant sprint finish.

“I’m really happy with my first victory with Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team!

Ultimately, Steimle outsprinted Ceriel Desal in a two-up gallop to the line and claimed an emphatic victory in Denain.

Reflecting on his victory, Steimle expressed his delight at clinching his inaugural win with the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. “I’m really happy with my first victory with Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team! I didn’t expect to go on the breakaway today but I was there and felt good from the start. The whole team supported me all day and pushed me to the line. I’m really happy that we made it to the finish. It was a good group from the start and we really raced well together. The key was to stay on the bike in the wet cobbles,” said the elated Steimle.

Despite facing challenges with his form in recent weeks, Steimle credited his family for their steadfast encouragement, highlighting the significance of their support in his journey to victory:

“I was not so happy with my shape in the last weeks but my family supported me throughout it all and today I’m so happy it paid off! It took me three months to get this first victory with the team but now It’s here and I’m going into the big classics in the next weeks with a lot of motivation!” concluded the German from Weilheim an der Teck.

Steimle’s triumph not only marked his first victory since 2021 but also served as an important milestone for the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, kickstarting our 2024 win tally.

Sam Bennett holt zweiten Etappensieg bei der Sibiu Tour

Am letzten Tag der Sibiu Tour warteten heute zwei Halbetappen auf das Fahrerfeld. Am Vormittag ging es zunächst auf eine wellige, rund 95 km lange Strecke, bevor am Abend ein abschließendes, nur etwas mehr als 3 km langes, Zeitfahren zu absolvieren ist.

Auf der Etappe 4a setze sich zunächst ein Duo vom Feld ab, doch BORA – hansgrohe gestaltete das Rennen auch heute aktiv und provozierte zur Hälfte des Rennens eine Teilung des Feldes. Die Ausreißer wurden nun schnell gestellt und Frederik Wandahl bildete mit einem Fluchtgefährten die neue Spitze rund 40 km vor dem Ziel. Allerdings wurde auch diese Gruppe 9 km vor dem Ziel eingeholt und am Ende sicherte sich Sam Bennett den Sieg im Sprint.

Von der Ziellinie
“Wir hatten für heute zwei Szenarien im Kopf. Zuerst wollten wir die Etappen offensiv gestalten, um in der Gesamtwertung noch etwas rauszuholen. Sollte das nicht aufgehen, war ich für den Sprint bereit. Leider ist Max raus, was sehr bitter ist. In jedem Fall hat mich Gampi am Ende perfekt am Rad von Menten abgeliefert. Ich bin noch vor der letzten Kurve an die Spitze, weil ich wusste, dass es dann eng und nicht mehr weit ins Ziel ist. Dort konnte ich viel Schwung mitnehmen und meinen zweiten Sieg einfahren. Es ist wirklich schön, hier wieder auf die Siegesstraße zurückzukehren und mein Selbstvertrauen kommt mit jedem Ergebnis mehr zurück.” – Sam Bennett

“Wir haben heute noch einmal alles auf eine Karte gesetzt, um das Blatt in der Gesamtwertung zu drehen. In einer Welle haben wir das Feld dann auch auseinandergefahren und wir hatten Max, Gampi und Flo in einer Gruppe. Die Jungs haben in der Abfahrt dann alles riskiert und Gampi und Max sind leider gestützt. Gampi ist ok, aber Max musste das Rennen aufgegeben. Er war zwar zuerst auch wieder auf dem Rad, hatte dann aber Knieschmerzen. Wir werden uns das heute noch genauer ansehen. In jedem Fall war Frederik dann vorne und wir konnten uns hinten auf den Sprint konzentrieren. Das hat super geklappt und Sam hat den Sprint eigentlich souverän gewonnen.” – Jens Zemke, Sportlicher Leiter

Jordi Meeus erneut auf dem Podest mit einem dritten Platz bei der Clasica de Almeria

Die erste Hälfte der 189 km langen Strecke verlief hügelig, aber dies sollte den schnellen Männern keine große Sorgen bereiten und so wurde in Roquetas del Mar ein Sprintfinale erwartet. Das Feld ließ ein Trio ziehen, das aber schon relativ früh im Renngeschehen wieder eingeholt war. Während des Tages musste das Peloton mit relativ starkem Wind kämpfen. Mit 20 km bis zum Ziel legten Nils Politt und Jordi Meeus ein hohes Tempo vor, und das Feld teilte sich in mehrere Gruppen. Nachdem das Rennen wieder zusammenkam, war BORA – hansgrohe erneut aktiv vorne im Feld und brachte Jordi in guter Position auf die Zielgerade, wo er letztendlich den dritten Platz hinter M. Moschetti und A. De Lie errang.

Reaktionen im Ziel
„Es war ein sehr hektisches Finale mit all den Kreisverkehren und dem Gegenwind, aber meine Teamkollegen haben einen guten Job gemacht, um mich in eine gute Position zu bringen. Ich habe einen guten Sprint hingelegt, aber als ich beschleunigen musste, hatte ich einfach nicht genug Kraft. Wahrscheinlich hat mir die Anstrengung des gestrigen Rennens ein wenig zugesetzt. Aber insgesamt ist es ein ziemlich gutes Ergebnis und ich bin mit meiner Leistung hier zufrieden.“ – Jordi Meeus

„Nach seinem dritten Platz gestern hat Jordi auch heute wieder ein tolles Ergebnis gegen frische Konkurrenten im Sprint erzielt. Fahrer wie z.B. Kristoff zu schlagen ist eine sehr starke Leistung. Das ganze Team hat auch eine gute Performance abgeliefert und im Seitenwind haben wir die Initiative ergriffen, um das Feld zu dezimieren und um mehr Platz zu schaffen. Es ist wirklich schön für Jordi und das Team, so ein erfolgreiches Wochenende hier in Spanien erlebt zu haben.“ – Torsten Schmidt, Sportlicher Leiter

Saudi Tour 2023 – Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team Roster

Etappenrennen, Teamnews, ,

Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will make its 2023 racing debut this week at the Saudi Tour (Jan 30 – Feb 3) with a diverse and ambitious seven-rider squad.

The Swiss-registered team will take on the five-stage UCI 2.1 race in Saudi Arabia with a strong roster and clear goal of being competitive on each of the stages and of making a strong first impression in the Q36.5 jersey.
Three sprint stages and two hillier stages are up for grabs in a race that is typically held in sweltering temperatures and where the desert wind is often the catalyst for the infamous echelons.

Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will be represented by a multicultural roster spearheaded by Brit Mark Donovan, Italian Alessandro Fedeli and Polish sprinter Szymon Sajnok. The three will be the team’s protected riders and will look for their chances to fight for a top result throughout the week in the desert.

Experienced New-Zealander Jack Bauer and American Joey Rosskopf will play a crucial support role on the flat terrain, whereas Polish Kamil Małecki brings climbing firepower for the hillier stages. The seven-rider roster is completed with former Canadian champion Nick Zukowsky, whose versatility and previous experience racing in the Saudi Tour will prove invaluable all week.
Ready and Eager
“This will be our first race of the season and we’re eager to show our jersey, race aggressively and make our partners proud. We’re bringing a strong team and our main objective is to take a stage win. Szymon Sajnok will be our card for the sprint stages while both Donovan and Fedeli will aim for the uphill finishes. This will be a competitive race but we’re confident that we can leave our mark and start the 2023 season on a good note,” said Gabriele Missaglia, DS at Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

“The Saudi Tour will be the curtain raiser for our team and the first time to pin numbers onto our technology advanced Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team jersey. We are fully committed to start our journey of #RacingTheFuture in the best possible way. The team is strong, ready and united and I truly believe that will propel us to achieve great results and do our sponsors and our fans proud. We have options to fight for victory in all stages and come away with a nice result that will set the momentum for what will be a very busy Spring of racing,” added Doug Ryder, General Manager of Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

Racing at the Saudi Tour for the first time in his career 26-year-old Italian Alessandro Fedeli believes the race will serve up good opportunities to show his early season form and his looking forward to the challenge ahead.

“The Saudi Tour is a great race to start the season. Personally, I really enjoy to start racing outside of Europe, in sunny, warmer locations. I will be my first time in Saudi Arabia so I’m excited to visit a new country and discover a new culture. I’m in good shape and very motivated for this race where I will try to do my best. I believe we can achieve a good result and get a stage win,” said Fedeli.

Five Exciting Stages
The Saudi Tour covers a total distance of 830 km over the course of five days with Stage 1 starting in Alula Airport and finishing in Khaybar providing a flat opener suited for the fast men in the peloton. Stage 2 from Winter Park to Shalal Sijlyat Rocks will be the longest of the race with 184km and will serve up another chance for a bunch sprint finale.The race enters hillier terrain on Stage 3 from Al Manshiyah to Abu Rakah and the uphill finale will certainly bring the General Classification contenders to the fore. A steep short climb within the final 15 km of the penultimate stage from Maraya to Skyviews of Harrat Uwairid will provide the perfect backdrop for the punchier climbers to take their chances and seize stage glory. The Saudi Tour concludes on Friday, February 3rd with a sprinter friendly Stage 5 from Alula Old Town to Maraya.

Gabriele Missaglia and Piotr Wadecki will be Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team’s DS’s for the Saudi Tour, a race which will be televised internationally on Eurosport, GCN and other major sport broadcasters.
