Hagenes opens Tour de Luxembourg with strong fourth place, Piganzoli finishes tenth
Team Visma | Lease a Bike got off to a promising start at the Tour de Luxembourg. Per Strand Hagenes finished fourth in the challenging opening stage, while teammate Davide Piganzoli also secured a top-ten finish. Mathieu van der Poel proved to be the strongest rider of the day.
The five-day race in Luxembourg got underway with a 158-kilometer stage starting and finishing in the capital. After a relatively flat opening, the riders faced several short climbs. At the foot of the Côte de Stafelter, the final climb of the day, the last remaining breakaway rider was caught, before Mathieu van der Poel launched his attack.

2026 GP Wallonie Preview
The 66th edition of the race and the organisers have decided to change things up a little bit and make it harder. Back in 2019, and before, the race used to have a more challenging finale with the presence of Côte de Lustin (3km at 5.2%), now they’ve added in a couple of wall climbs, but they are quite far out, so I’m not sure how much of an impact they’ll have.
