After a fantastic work of preparation, it was up to me to try to finish the race and to beat Lecerf”declares the runner of the Dutch team.

“I did not look back only once; I wanted to go to the end. In the end, my legs became heavy, and suddenly, they arrived very quickly from the back. It is a shame, but I do not think that we can blame ourselves. It was the maximum that we could shoot today. We can be very proud of each other. We have shaped the race and were offensive in the mountain stages. Quite difficult for my taste “concludes Cian Uijtdebroeks.
