|
Development Team Sunweb's Nils Eekhoff raced to victory on the opening stage of the Istrian Spring Trophy in Croatia, setting the fastest time over the 2km prologue to secure the first yellow jersey of the four-day race.
After his podium duties, Nils explained his race: "Today was a very short prologue along the coast of Umag. There was some wind from the sea which also made it quite hard. I tried to get up to speed as fast as possible, hold it until the 180 degree turn, and then race full gas and give my all to the finish. I’m very happy with my start to the Istrian Spring Trophy, and am looking forward to the next days on the bike with our strong team."
Team Sunweb coach Tom Veelers added: "All went well today, the boys all did a good preparation, you can not make any mistakes given the time and distance was so short. We're pleased with the win and look forward to tomorrow's stage in yellow." |
