Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jumbo Visma) won stage 4 of the Tour de Wallonie just ahead of the fast finishing European Champion, Giacomo Nizzolo of Team Qhubeka NextHash. Fernando Gavaria (UAE Team Emirates) was 3rd. Stage 4 of the Tour de Wallonie was the longest stage of the race, measuring just over 205km in distance, from Neufchateau to Fleurus. It was a very fast stage, with multiple breakaway attempts throughout the stage. This made it a hard day out, the kind of race the European Champion enjoys. A final climb in the last 14km reduced the peloton quite significantly but a number of top sprinters were.

A day to remember forever, celebrating Mandela Day on the Champs-Elysees in Paris!.

International Mandela Day, which is on the 18 of July every year, celebrates the life of former South African president, Nelson Mandela. Our team has always had the honour of celebrating this day at the Tour de France each year, most famously during our debut Le Tour when Steve Cummings on Mandela Day in 2015. To commemorate the day, we add a splash of orange to our livery, as orange is the official colour of #MandelaDay and also the colour of harmony. This year Mandela Day fell on the final stage of Le Tour, and so for the first time ever, we got to celebrate.

Team Qhubeka NextHash will take to the roads of the Tour de Wallonie tomorrow, when the UCI 2.Pro race gets underway in Belgium. With the Tour de France behind us, there is no waiting to get the second half of the season underway with the Tour de Wallonie starting tomorrow. Team Qhubeka NextHash will have a strong team at the start, with Giacomo Nizzolo leading the team. Joining the European champion on the start line will be Dimitri Claeys, Andreas Stokbro, Matteo Pelucchi, Dylan Sunderland, Harry Tanfield and Lukasz Wisniowski. A big thank you to “super fan”, Scott Gibson, for announcing our lineup that will.

Wout Van Aert (Team Jumbo Visma) sprinted to the final stage victory of the Tour de France, on the Champs-Elysée in Paris. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) defended his title from last year and was crowned the overall race winner. Stage 21, the final stage, of the 2021 Tour de France was again a true spectacle for the sport of professional cycling as the peloton made its way to the most famous finish-line in sport, on the Champs-Elysée in Paris. For Team Qhubeka NextHash, the day held even greater significance as the team celebrated International Mandela Day at the Tour, as it has always done.
