Reinoud Wesseling proves to be in good fitness


  After only 11 km of Kovel - Kovel a big group of 14 riders left the peloton behind. The peloton never saw the break away group again, and the stage was to be terminated by the attackers. Several riders tried to attack from the peloton in order to catch up with the break away, but no one succeeded. 10 km before the finishing line, Reinoud Wesseling (vgnpnx) and Leopol Schurman (Pulse Nordic) attacked from the break away group, and they managed to create a gap just big enough to settle the stage. The two riders sprinted ahead with the following group only 50 metres behind them. Reinoud Wesseling could happily raise his hands after winning only a few inches infront of Leopol Schurman. In the following group, Jacenty Czerwi?ski (Dinosaur Racers) took the lead in the sprint, which left him as third on the stage.
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 Reinoud Wesseling 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.
vgnpnx's manager, YuriR, was satisfied after the result in Kovel - Kovel. Reinoud Wesseling did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Reinoud Wesseling had the power to win, said the manager.
