In his last season with the team, Tiesj continued being Mr. Stability himself in the spring classics, even though the team once again had to endure tough moments in the first months of the season. Tiesj helped lifting the team back up after Dwars door Vlaanderen and put in a huge ride in the Ronde van Vlaanderen, where the Bees were at the front of the race right into the finale. After the spring, domestique duties awaited in the Tour, and another podium for Jonas followed. Tiesj therefore concludes his time at Team Visma | Lease a Bike without having finished a Tour de France without a teammate on the podium.  

Apart from the results he achieved himself and helped his teammates achieve, Tiesj played an invaluable role in the culture on Team Visma | Lease a Bike. As sports director Marc Reef put it, Tiesj always puts himself in the first line of fire, while keeping his head cool and collected. We know his next team will enjoy these qualities too. We wish you all the best for the future, Tiesj!
