Lars Boom could consolidate his top ten position in the general classification during the third stage of the Tour of Britain. The 31-year-old rider of Team LottoNL-Jumbo was part of the lead out for Dylan Groenewegen and could maintain position in the peloton afterwards. Eventually, Dylan Groenewegen finished sixteenth on a hilly finish. 

Groenewegen couldn’t compete for the victory today. “The finish was too difficult for me”, he said afterwards. “Everything has to be perfect for a sprinter like me in a stage like this. That wasn't the case. I’m convinced I can sprint for the victory in flatter stages, but this finish was too tough for me.”

Despite that, LottoNL-Jumbo's sprint train is becoming better by the day. “It doesn’t go bad at all indeed, but we can still improve”, Groenewegen mentioned. “I’m also an important part of the train. I have to coach the guys in front of me. That’s new for me and it requires some adaptions. Anyway, I have confidence for tomorrow’s stage. It should suit me better.”
