Sandrine Tas makes a bold transition from Winter Olympics speed skating to professional cycling, debuting with Lotto–Intermarché Ladies at La Flèche Wallonne Femmes. This shift not only marks a new chapter in her athletic career but showcases her versatility as a two-time Olympian and former inline skating champion.
What follows reveals how Tas's impressive past in competitive sports sets the stage for her cycling journey. In 2024, she clinched the Belgian national time trial title in the WE2 category, and in 2025, she finished eighth in the elite women's road race at the national championships, which was secured by Justine Ghekiere. Tas also triumphed in two national-level races before focusing on her Olympic aspirations.
After a well-deserved post-Olympic break, the 30-year-old is eager to hit the road, stating, “I feel ready to start racing again.” She has been training hard and anticipates the challenge of her first race, which features the steep Mur de Huy climb. Tas's debut is not just a personal milestone; it could reshape her future in cycling as she dons the Lotto–Intermarché kit for the first time.
