Dylan Groenewegen came within centimetres of victory at the Veenendaal-Veenendaal Classic, ultimately finishing third in the final sprint.
Team Jayco-AlUla were among the top teams working to bring back the early six-man breakaway in tricky conditions. The escape group did not make it easy and held on out front until inside the final two kilometres.
It was a closely contested sprint after a hectic final few kilometres as teams jostled for position. Groenewegen pushed hard for the line in the sprint, and narrowly missed out on taking the top spot.
Dylan Groenewegen:
“It was not an easy day with the rain, but the team did a really good job and we took our responsibility to fight for the sprint! In the end, it was up to me and I didn’t finish it off but we know where we working for and that is this summer.”
