Toms Skujiņš (Lidl-Trek) has been one of the top performers of the early season, lighting up racing in the lead group at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and taking a hard-fought second place at Strade Bianche, and it won’t be long before he’s back battling it out with the big one-day stars.

The Latvian’s form has earned him more time on the cobbles in spring, with a return to the bergs and helingen in Flanders pencilled in after he took on Wout van Aert and Visma-Lease a Bike’s super team at Opening Weekend.
