A first stage win in a Grand Tour, crashes, eight days in the white jersey, illness, but above all: a team that never loses hope. Our Giro d’Italia was full of mixed emotions.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike entered the first Grand Tour of the year with the goal of winning as many stages as possible. Relive from within the team how we worked towards the first stage win in a Grand Tour by our homegrown talent Olav Kooij. See how the team coped with the withdrawals of Robert Gesink, Christophe Laporte, Kooij and white jersey wearer Cian Uijtdebroeks. And how Jan Tratnik, Tim van Dijke, Edoardo Affini, and Attila Valter never lost hope on the road to Rome.
