When the final climb was near, Holwerda Cycling and Tom Pepping made sure no one could attack by setting a high tempo in the lead. At the end of the climb, only the strongest climbers were in front. With 1.5 kilometres to go, (pollyjean) launched an attack, which Tom Pepping (DZWF) and Jurgen Meulenbergh (Holwerda Cycling) easily countered.
Martin Vesterå lost Tom Pepping's wheel when the sprint was launched, and Jurgen Meulenbergh had a close sprint with Tom Pepping. Jurgen Meulenbergh was the fastest in the sprint, leaving Tom Pepping only a few inches behind. Martin Vesterå, who had no power left for the sprint, secured his third place only 3 seconds later.
I'm still surprised that I could do this. Only when I was getting near the finishing line I realized that I had the chance of winning, said a shocked, but happy, Jurgen Meulenbergh and continues: I owe my team a big thank for their great support today. Without them, this couldn't be possible.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Jurgen Meulenbergh did a perfect job today, said Frank Holwerda, manager of Holwerda Cycling, after the race.
