Etixx - Quick-Step dominated 196.1km Ronde van Zeeland Seaports on Saturday. Niki Terpstra, Iljo Keisse, and Lukasz Wisniowski left no doubt about their intent to go 1-2-3, when the Etixx - Quick-Step trio attacked out of a big group with 100 kilometers to go. They built a 1'50" advantage over about 15 riders left chasing, including their own teammates Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, Nikolas Maes, Matteo Trentin, and Yves Lampaert, with 70 kilometers remaining.

Wisniowski finally found the right sport for him after some trial and error. First he was a tennis player, and then he tried to swim. But after those attempts, he tested out cycling and discovered it was a perfect fit. Wisniowski comes to the team as a product of the Etixx Cycling Team, the continental team that was connected to Etixx – Quick-Step in hopes of preparing young talent for professional racing. “I learned a lot, and I trained also with the professional riders of Etixx – Quick-Step such as my now Polish teammates Michal Golas and Michal Kwiatkowski. They really helped me a lot. Year-by-year I got stronger and better, and then I transitioned to Etixx – Quick-Step. They are the best and the choice was easy. We now all live in Torun, as I moved there a few months ago. It’s really easy to train together in this way. Especially in the winter time. It’s easier to join a new team with familiar faces, and there is also a Polish soigneur on Etixx – Quick-Step. It’s nice to have such a strong Polish representation on this international team. “
Wisniowski wants to focus on just getting better. “I don’t have any specific race goals other than to become a proper professional rider. I just want to improve and learn. It’s a bit different between races in the lower categories and the world-class level. I just want to get experience and grow. Wisniowski said his speciality are the flat races with a lot of wind, such as the races in Holland and Belgium. “These are the best races that I really like, so I should fit in well with the team as Etixx – Quick-Step are masters of the wind.”
