Yves Booms's first victory: Nakusp ITT


  The tough and steep time trial, Nakusp ITT, was very exciting, as nothing was termined before the final riders finished. Godfried Van Asche (crelan coffidis) set the best time when he finished the stage, while Hanneken Vandenbosch (crelan coffidis) came in only a few seconds slower. As everyone thought Godfried Van Asche would win, the split times suddenly showed that one of the last 5 riders had the possibility of winning. Yves Booms of crelan coffidis ended up beating Godfried Van Asche with no more than 5 seconds, which insured him the stage win on the steep time trial.
crelan coffidis's Yves Booms didn't hide his joy when winning the Nakusp ITT. It's incredible. I didn't expect this at all. I just wanted to try, I aimed for being 5th or 6th, but suddenly I was in the lead! said the happy winner.
The stage couldn't turn out any better than this. Yves Booms did a perfect job today, said Anth Verleije, manager of crelan coffidis, after the race.
