Team Visma | Lease a Bike concludes Tour de Romandie with good feelings
The Swiss stage race concluded Sunday afternoon with an individual time trial in Geneva. Brennan showed up early and set a fast time on the clock after more than 17 kilometers. The 19-year-old Brit, who convincingly won the first stage last Wednesday, finished eleventh and thus concluded a successful week of racing.Nordhagen, who finished eighth in Saturday’s queen stage, also delivered a good time trial. The 20-year-old Norwegian finished narrowly behind teammate Brennan, but moved up to 13th place in the overall standings thanks to a fourteenth place in the race against the clock.
“The White Jersey group held their own all week.”
Maarten Wynants
“The guys delivered a top performance again today”, sports director Maarten Wynants said. “With a bit of luck Matthew finishes inside top ten (the number eight was one second faster), but it’s already great that they can join the big guns. Matthew and Jørgen have once again shown a lot of potential.”With a win and several good results, Wynants looks back on the Swiss stage race with satisfaction. “The White Jersey group held their own all week. But also the other guys did well and were able to do their part. We fought for the win every day and got a nice win with Matthew. Our week was more than successful.”
