Team dsm-firmenich PostNL claim overall GC crown in Langkawi with Max Poole After strong riding throughout the week and building off the back of their stage three success, today Team dsm-firmenich PostNL could take home the overall GC title at Le Tour de Langkawi with Max Poole. Having collected bonus seconds in earlier stages, the team and Poole went into the final day of racing with 13 of an advantage over their nearest rivals. Navigating the sprint stage well, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL helped to control the race with a dual goal of setting up finisher Casper van Uden for the finale, and keeping Poole safe; not allowing their GC opposition to take enough time back to trouble the top of the standings. In the finale, Casper got a bit boxed in and couldn’t get a clear run to the finish, leading us home just outside of the Top 10 of the day. Coming across the line in Bintulu, Poole and Team dsm-firmenich PostNL could celebrate a great GC victory. It’s the young talent’s, who came through the team’s highly successful Development program, first overall title. With Poole’s victory it means 18 professional wins have been taken by graduates from that program in 2024; something that Team dsm-firmenich PostNL is incredibly proud of. 🇬🇧🔗 https://lnkd.in/eYc8ket9 🇳🇱🔗 https://lnkd.in/epjt6TmQ

Team dsm-firmenich PostNL attacked the queen stage at CRO Race with a plan to bring fifth-on-GC Lund Andresen into a position to fight for the stage win. However, between them and that goal was the challenging Poklon ascent, where a strong tempo was set by the climbers. The team made sure they were represented in the front with Warren Barguil who covered the moves, while the rest of the team rode at a tempo Lund Andresen was comfortable with. Once over the top, a fierce chase ensued and everyone did their role expertly to bring Lund Andresen back; meaning the team had five riders left in the reduced peloton of around 30. In the final the team controlled late attacks, before positioning Lund Andresen at the front for the punchy cobbled climb to the line. Measuring his effort perfectly, Lund Andresen surged past his competitors in the closing 50 metres, shouting with delight as he crossed the line. Doing so, he could celebrate what is the Men’s program’s 21st win of the season, and the 17th to come from a Development program rider - an incredible achievement. 🇬🇧🔗https://lnkd.in/emM2-7-g 🇳🇱🔗https://lnkd.in/ea-5ehZH #KeepChallenging #CROrace

After promising rides in the opening two sprint stages, the third day of action in Langkawi was one for the climbers, and a day where Team dsm-firmenich PostNL set out their stall to support Max Poole as finisher. A cohesive team effort from everyone saw Poole always well positioned and the team came over the long but steady main climb of the day in a good way and with numbers. Heading onto the second shorter but slightly harder ascent, the team set a good early pace before other squads took over. The strong tempo remained and on the steepest gradients inside the last kilometre Poole attacked, dragging clear a group of three. They were brought back on the rolling descent, but Poole remained calm and kept a cool-head, positioning himself for the sprint to the line. Smartly using the downhill section to get momentum, he kicked early and surged past the group, holding on to raise his arms aloft as he crossed the line; celebrating his first pro win. It’s a special occasion for Team dsm-firmenich PostNL who have taken 16 professional wins with riders promoted from their highly successful Development program in 2024 alone. 🇬🇧🔗https://lnkd.in/exWszT3q 🇳🇱🔗https://lnkd.in/e7rGer4B #KeepChallenging #LTdL2024

When exercising at high intensities, the body prioritises blood flow to the muscles, heart and lungs and reduces blood flow and oxygen supply to the stomach and intestines, potentially causing digestive issues like stomach discomfort or cramps. That's why we work closely with dsm-firmenich and their up4 nutrition range which features innovative ingredients such as HiMO, that our riders use throughout the year. Gastrointestinal problems are a major cause of non-completion in endurance races. Proper management, such as a healthy microbiome, is essential to minimise gastrointestinal distress during strenuous exercise. While exercise is essential for overall health, excessive or intense physical activity, such as prolonged cycling particularly at high temperatures, can negatively affect gut health through increased gut permeability, altered microbiota and digestive issues. All of this exceptional science then helps to keep our riders going and performing to their best for longer.

Wielrenner Fabio Jakobsen van Team dsm-firmenich PostNL stond deze week voor de klas bij een basisschool in Spijkenisse, om de kinderen te vertellen over zijn veerkracht. Want als topsporter heeft hij elke dag te maken met vallen, opstaan en niet opgeven. En om met lastige situaties om te gaan, daar kan veerkracht je bij helpen. Het scholenbezoek is onderdeel van de 100-jarige samenwerking tussen Kinderpostzegels en PostNL. Kinderpostzegels zet zich al een eeuw in voor kinderen, want te veel kinderen staan met 10-0 achter in het leven en missen daardoor een goede basis om veerkrachtig te zijn.  Benieuwd wat de kinderen van het bezoek van Fabio vonden? 👇 Team dsm-firmenich PostNL Kinderpostzegels Jeugdeducatiefonds #bijzonderemomenten #keepchallenging
