Czech cyclist Mathias Vacek is set to take on the role of main leader for team Lidl-Trek at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, marking the start of the spring classics season. With Danish rider Mads Pedersen recovering from injury, Vacek's ambitions are high for these prestigious races, as he aims to secure at least one win this spring. He expressed confidence in his form and readiness to capitalize on it, noting that the team has high expectations despite some complications in the lead-up to the season.

In his recent comments, Vacek emphasized the importance of performing well in the classics, stating that the team has established a clear goal to succeed at these monument races. Vacek, who is 23 years old, is eager to achieve this goal and has adjusted his training and racing strategy accordingly. He feels that his decision to slightly delay reaching peak form was the right one, as he currently feels fresh and poised to deliver strong performances in the races ahead.

Vacek's commitment to winning a spring classic reflects not only personal aspirations but also the lofty ambitions of the Lidl-Trek team, which considers itself among the world's elite cycling teams. With the classics season beginning soon, all eyes will be on Vacek as he strives to fulfill both his dreams and those of his team in the highly competitive landscape of professional cycling.
