| | | | | NEWSFLASH: TEAM SUNWEB'S MAX WALSCHEID VICTORIOUS AT TOUR DE YORKSHIRE STAGE 3 |
|
After solid team work brought back late-breakaway attempts inside the final 20 kilometres, Team Sunweb's Max Walscheid (GER) sprinted to the victory at the Tour de Yorkshire's third stage today.
After the win, Walscheid said: "Today was a really hard day; I was suffering throughout the stage but I had a great team behind me who chased for me throughout the day. I managed to enter the descent in a good spot which was key because it wasn't possible to move up afterwards. Usually I am best in the flat sprints, so to win a difficult stage is nice for me and shows that I'm developing towards being able to win harder races. After being able to really show my top speed here I'm looking forward to more nice races through the rest of the season."
Team Sunweb coach Tom Veelers (NED) added: "We had a tough race today and had to close gaps late on when groups went clear. The team were really strong and worked well together to get the job done, and they delivered Max into a good position heading into the final. Max has shown that he has a really good sprint capacity with this well deserved win." |
