Team DSM have taken their first victory of the season today at San Juan as Sam Welsford powered to a phenomenal win on the downhill finish in San Juan for stage six of the race. A breakaway dominated the early parts of the race whilst the team remained quiet in the peloton, looking after the Aussie sprinter ahead of what was expected to be a fast and slightly downhill sprint finish. In the closing metres of the race, Welsford was able to follow the team’s lead out, launching his sprint with 150 metres to go. He unleashed an insane turn of power to take the team’s first victory of 2023. Click here for quotes and reaction from Welsford and coaching staff. |
