Saudi Tour: Cees Bol Secures Another 3rd Place in Stage 3
Cees Bol continues to impress as a key addition to Team Astana Qazaqstan in the Saudi Tour. Despite a challenging climb in the last 2 kilometers, Bol managed to sprint his way to a 3rd place finish in Abu Rakah for the second consecutive day.
“Already some weeks ago, when I studied the race courses, I immediately liked this final. It looked or a nice chance, or something just too hard for me. On the top of that climb in the last kilometer I would be at the limit but if I could just still hang on there for ten seconds, I would be able to position myself and do a good sprint. And that’s how it also happened. My teammates dropped me very well at the bottom of the climb. I still had good legs and survived that little climb. Then, unfortunately, I had to take full wind to do my sprint for the victory. I just came up short, but we have again a nice result for the team.” – said Cees Bol.
