No issues for Team Visma | Lease a Bike in second stage Tour de Suisse
Within minutes of the official start, five riders got away. The peloton approved, as evidenced by the lead built up by the quintet in no time. Along the way, they divided the points at the mountain and intermediate sprints, after which the adventure was over.
There was some nervousness in the closing stages as the peloton had to maneuver through narrow streets. A few riders still tried to escape, but a bunch sprint proved inevitable. Ben Tulett and Wilco Kelderman showed they were up to the task. Both riders finished in the top twenty. Cian Uijtdebroeks also finished in the same time as the day’s winner.
“Fortunately, we got through the ride well”
Marc Reef
“We knew it could be a hectic final,” said sports director Marc Reef. “Especially given the climb at the end and the many narrow roads full of traffic obstacles. Fortunately, we got through the ride well. That was also the main thing today. We kept Ben, Wilco and Cian well up front and were in good position at the important moments. That’s a good sign towards the rest of this week.”
