In cycling, tensions often rise when two sprinters compete for a single spot in the biggest races. But in 2025, Picnic-PostNL takes it to another level. The Dutch team's 28-rider roster now includes no fewer than four (!

Fabio Jakobsen, a prominent sprinter for the Soudal-QuickStep team, now faces competition from three new teammates, all of whom are also sprinters, within his own team. These new rivals are Tim Merlier, who has had a successful season with victories in the Tour of Oman and the UAE Tour; Casper van Uden, a promising young talent from the Netherlands; and Bert Van Lerberghe, known for his sprinting capabilities. The team, Picnic PostNL, plans to utilize this depth in sprinting talent by potentially focusing on different race profiles where each sprinter might excel, thereby maximizing their chances of success in various events. This strategy aims to distribute the sprinting opportunities among the riders, possibly reducing the pressure on Jakobsen and allowing for a more dynamic team approach in races.
