Following on from their nail-biting TTT win on stage one, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL rode brilliantly once again and continued their great form at the Tour of Denmark, controlling the stage before setting up Tobias Lund Andresen who surged to the win in the uphill sprint finish.

Team dsm-firmenich PostNL worked brilliantly as a unit throughout the stage with the dual goal of keeping their GC placings safe, but with a view of setting up the fast-finishing Lund Andresen for the finale. The break rode well together however and with the stage win potentially hanging in the balance, it required a strong chase from Alex Edmondson initially to keep things in check as they approached the local lap circuit before Warren Barguil took over. From there, Frank van den Broek and Sean Flynn helped to keep the guys safe before Nils Eekhoff did a phenomenal last pull as final lead-out man, creating a high tempo on the rise before the line to string things out. Lund Andresen expertly followed the wheels and chose his moment to launch perfectly, coming around the opposition with a devastating kick, where he could sit up and celebrate the team’s second win of the race so far; and the Men’s program’s 17th of the season.
