Team Jumbo-Visma falls short in hilly fourth stage Tour de Pologne
Team Jumbo-Visma has finished the fourth stage of the Tour de Pologne with the fourteenth place for Pascal Eenkhoorn. In the hilly final, the Dutchman held up well at the front, but was unable to compete for the highest places in the sprint of a reduced peloton.
The fourth stage was characterized by two steep climbs in the last ten kilometres. Team Jumbo-Visma brought Pascal Eenkhoorn in position in the final. The Dutchman put in a brave fight, but came short on the steep uphill finish.
Sports director Frans Maassen had seen a strong Eenkhoorn. “Pascal did very well and fought till the end. He was kept in the front by the team and was well-positioned ahead of the final climb. That is not obvious for a rider like Pascal among all those strong GC-riders. He completely rode at his limit. We had hoped for a top ten result, but this was the maximum we could achieve today.”
Antwan Tolhoek did not start today. The Dutchman has not been fit for several days.
