Biography

He can survive the Ardennes hills, place himself in the front ranks of the sprint or finish a long breakaway: Pieter Vanspeybrouck is like a Swiss knife. He feels good on the cobbles in the spring classics and can also achieve a good general classification, such as in the Tour of Belgium (7th) or Luxembourg (6th) in 2016. After a day in the break in the Amstel Gold Race he focused on the Tour of France. In Dauphiné he placed himself twice as 12th in the sprint. He became a team captain, but showed its a third place in the opening stage of the Tour of Austria in 2019 that he's still fast. His fast legs are a treasure, even in a possible long breakaway.
