"Sepp rode his best time trial to date here"

Jan Boven

Sports director Jan Boven has seen a solid performance by his team on the selective course. “Sepp rode his best time trial to date here. We have also trained a lot on the TT bike lately and that is now paying off. Tony and Steven also rode a solid time trial. For the rest of the week we will focus on our own race and we will make a day-to-day plan to achieve a good result in the overall classification.”
