Stevie Williams and Ben Hermans Secure Top 10 Finishes at Eschborn-Frankfurt
Stevie Williams and Ben Hermans put on an impressive performance at Eschborn-Frankfurt, taking advantage of the altered parcours to secure top 10 finishes. After attacking on the last climb, they formed a small group with eight other riders and maintained their lead until the finish line. Williams expressed his satisfaction with the race and his confidence heading into the Giro d’Italia.
In an interview, Williams said, “It was a really tough day out, and we were unsure of how the race was going to pan out in the end. After we went hard on the second Feldberg ascent, trying to split the race and put riders in a bit of pain, we went on the last climb with 30 kilometers to go, and Ben and I managed to get ourselves into a small group. We worked well together until the finish, and to have us both in the top 10 is a good result. Considering I’ve been away from racing since the Volta a Catalunya, I can go into the Giro with confidence after this, and be happy with the result. It’s also just really nice to be fighting for a win in a World Tour race again.”
Williams will now turn his focus to the Giro d’Italia, which is set to begin on May 6th in Ortona.
