Tomorrow we will be back at Dorpenomloop Rucphen, a race that we know very well as we seized the win last year with David Dekker after a very strong team performance. We took the lead of the race in the final part and we went up the road as a group. Such control of the race gave us an edge in the final and the leadout for David was perfect, so he was in prime position coming into the finishing straight and took his second win of the season. This year, we hope…continue reading →
