Lars van Hoegaerde sees possibilities


  Three riders attacked on the stage of Werne - Solingen after 29 km. The riders were good at cooperating until 15 km before the ending of the stage. Cornelis Klaasen from Bolletjestruii could not follow Ronald Diaz (raggeaetr) and Lars van Hoegaerde (Bolletjestruii) who increased the speed. The two leading riders launched the sprint, which Lars van Hoegaerde had completely under control. Lars van Hoegaerde won the stage with Ronald Diaz right behind him. Cornelis Klaasen, who couldn't keep the high tempo of the other two kept this third place.
The stage today was perfect for me. I felt good in my legs, and when the attack got launched, I had a feeling that I could do this, said Lars van Hoegaerde to the interviewers and continued: I couldn't have done this without my team or my manager; they have a just a big part in this win as me.
Bolletjestruii, manager of Bolletjestruii, was happy with the result: The whole team did well today. Everything turned out as we hoped, and luckily, Lars van Hoegaerde was the strongest rider out there today. The proud manager didn't hide that he was satisfied with Lars van Hoegaerde's result. Lars van Hoegaerde did well. No one deserved the victory more than him. He put his focus on this stage long ago, and he kept his motivation high. I'm happy for him and the team, said Bolletjestruii.
