Dylan Groenewegen: “We looked like a real sprint train”

August 12 ^th 2022 - 17:03 [GMT + 2]

We don’t have my normal lead-out team here, as we have some GC riders in the squad. Still, my teammates did an amazing job today. They pulled all day long and brought me back to the front of the bunch after a crash affected me in the final kilometres. We looked like a real sprint train in the final, and [Nick] Schultz brought me to a perfect position near the finish. I started my sprint really early, but it was enough. Yesterday was a hard day, but today we got a nice win for me and also for the team.

This has not been an easy day, with some rain and some wind during the day, plus some climbs at the end of the stage. I have quite good legs after the Tour de France, my shape is really good… and I am very happy with this win.
