TeamTVM took part in Norway Tour earlier this season, just to learn a bit more from the inside, but the real next goal was definitely meant to be Fast on Wheels.
As FoW has decisive hilly and TT stages but SC is to be determined on flat stages, it was decided to go to Denmark with two captains, brave old Tour specialist Lanzo Lagorsone and young sprint gun Urmas Haapakoski, both in TF, to target GC and SC at the same time !!
We then had to share TM/LOs duties inbetween the 4 reminding riders, and were lucky enough to hire an old HLSP just before entering the competition and bring along 3 LOs. All in all, we started this Tour with 4 riders in TF.
It soon appeared that the job would be harder for Lagorsone than for Haapakovski, especially after an offday for the former rider on the Prologue. Fortunately, Lagorsone placed second among the favorites on stage 4 and 3rd on the hilly TT where he proved that his legs are still solid when it comes to his favorite race type.
SC proved to be within reach of Haapkovski after he won both 2nd and 3rd stages. A crash on the last one only hindered him a little, as he finished 3rd and secured the SC with a nice margin.
"TeamTVM is therefore very proud to announce that we collected the two most coveted jerseys of this race with two different riders, our very first jerseys" said PR manager Yoann Delarue right after in Kobenhavn.
And he added with as smile : "stay tuned as we may very well have some other important news to share with you pretty soon ..."
