I love how realistic this story outlines the tough way of a young cyclist working his way up the ladders. Great story dominox!
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Great. Another "flat" classic. I still have a problem while doing my calendar of racing. I instinctively choose "flat" classics. Then I realise it's not particulary flat. My role for this race was work at the head of the group for 30 kms. Four riders in a breakaway. Last big climb created some gaps in the peloton. 24 riders in main group (I was the only one from my team) and then peloton with 85 riders.
| 1 | Lilian Calmejane | Credit Agricole | 4h41'41 | | 2 | Dylan Teuns | Lotto - Soudal | + 42 | | 3 | Thomas De Gendt | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 4 | Taylor Phinney | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 5 | Julian Alaphilippe | Credit Agricole | s.t. | | 6 | Pim Ligthart | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | | 7 | Bas Tietema | Team Differdange - Losch | s.t. | | 8 | Ángel Madrazo | Total | s.t. | | 9 | Christophe Laporte | FDJ | s.t. | | 10 | Konrad Gessner | Roubaix - Lille Métropole | s.t. | | 17 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
As I was the highest placed rider from TEAM Philips, I can say it was okay. But 17th place alone not that much.
Cobbles! Not that much, but still! Five guys up front with Van Goethem from Philips. Maximum +4'30. Everything ends easy with a mass sprint.
| 1 | Stan Dewulf | Astana Pro Team | 4h35'25 | | 2 | Zico Waeytens | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 3 | Christophe Laporte | FDJ | s.t. | | 4 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 5 | Jordi Meeus | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 6 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 7 | Daniel Hoelgaard | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | | 8 | Pieter Serry | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 9 | Vyacheslav Kuznetsov | Team Katusha - Alpecin | s.t. | | 10 | Baptiste Planckaert | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 13 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
13th place from mass sprint is really nice. Still I have "only" 68 in sprint.
Le Samyn! Another classic with cobbles. This time it might be slightly better than in Kuurne. Just two riders up front, maximum +4'20. Will this ends via another mass sprint?
| 1 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | 4h46'40 | | 2 | Ander Areda | Lotto U23 | s.t. | | 3 | Jan-Willem Van Schip | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 4 | Charlie Arimont | AGO - Aqua Service | s.t. | | 5 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 6 | Stefan Bissegger | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 7 | Thomas Sprengers | Beobank - Corendon | s.t. | | 8 | Michele Viola | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 9 | Tom Leezer | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 10 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Yes, it will. Great result from Van Schip as he got himself 3rd place. I finished 10th. It slowly getting better. |

In my first start? Indeed  .
Stage 1:
| 1 | Lars Boom | TEAM Philips | 14'07 | | 2 | Victor Campenaerts | Quick-Step Floors | + 2 | | 3 | Pieter Serry | Quick-Step Floors | + 3 | | 4 | Stefan Bissegger | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 5 | | 5 | Lennard Kämna | Quick-Step Floors | + 7 | | 6 | Fredrik Ludvigsson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 9 | | 7 | Jelle Wallays | Lotto - Soudal | + 10 | | 8 | Jürgen Roelandts | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 9 | Jesper Asselman | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 10 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | + 12 | | 128 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 1'29 |
Great win in a prologue by Boom! Also Asselman 9th.
This time flat stage with a little amounts of cobbled kms. Stage 2:
| 1 | Zico Waeytens | Quick-Step Floors | 3h15'48 | | 2 | Charlie Arimont | AGO - Aqua Service | s.t. | | 3 | Jesper Asselman | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 4 | Jonas Van Genechten | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 5 | Tim Merlier | WB Veranclassic - Aqua Protect | s.t. | | 6 | Jan-Willem Van Schip | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 7 | Lennard Kämna | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 8 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 9 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 10 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 11 | Lars Boom | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 12 | Pieter Serry | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 13 | José Gonçalves | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
A lot of TEAM Philips riders in top 15.
Last stage was also flat. Lars Boom was favourite to win this race after great prologue. My - and other teammates too - job was to protect the yellow jersey. Stage 3:
| 1 | Zico Waeytens | Quick-Step Floors | 3h27'04 | | 2 | Jonas Van Genechten | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 3 | Tim Merlier | WB Veranclassic - Aqua Protect | s.t. | | 4 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 5 | Charlie Arimont | AGO - Aqua Service | s.t. | | 6 | Lars Boom | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 7 | Jesper Asselman | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 8 | Jürgen Roelandts | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 9 | Philippe Gilbert | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 10 | Amaury Capiot | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. |
But who said I can't fight in a mass sprint? I don't know how it happened, but I finished 4th.
General Classification:
| 1 | Lars Boom | TEAM Philips | 6h56'59 | | 2 | Victor Campenaerts | Quick-Step Floors | + 2 | | 3 | Jesper Asselman | TEAM Philips | + 3 | | 4 | Pieter Serry | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 5 | Stefan Bissegger | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 5 | | 6 | Lennard Kämna | Quick-Step Floors | + 7 | | 7 | Fredrik Ludvigsson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 9 | | 8 | Jürgen Roelandts | Quick-Step Floors | + 10 | | 9 | Jelle Wallays | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 10 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | + 12 | | 120 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 1'29 |
Great win by Boom and awesome performance by Asselman. Good form before another, World Tour cobble classics! |

Oh yeah! First of my main three goals for this part of season. Let's look at the favourites:
No place for Boom, but I believe he can do his best here! Now, race: I decided to not go for a breakaway as my team wanted. They also wanted top 50 result by me. Big breakaway - 17 riders. They had maximum time at about +5'00. Still, nothing dangerous.
| 1 | Zdenek Stybar | Quick-Step Floors | 5h01'57 | | 2 | Jens Debusschere | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 3 | Florian Sénéchal | FDJ | s.t. | | 4 | Guillaume Van Keirsbulck | Lotto - Soudal | + 1'44 | | 5 | John Degenkolb | Bora - Hansgrohe | s.t. | | 6 | Alexis Gougeard | Credit Agricole | + 2'26 | | 7 | Jasper Stuyven | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 8 | Yves Lampaert | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 9 | Adrien Petit | Credit Agricole | s.t. | | 10 | Edward Theuns | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 25 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 5'24 |
Boom finished 16th. Decent performance, but I expected something better from him. Even looking at my stamina - which is like 66 now - I finished on very acceptable 25th place! Congrats Stybar for the win! |

Only thing I'm waiting now is my first win this season 
Now E3! Can Stybar repeat his great victory from Dwars? Favourites:
Again my objective was top 50. It's all very possible. I hope also for a top 15 by Boom here. Ten guys in a breakaway - maximum time at about +5'20. This race was even more selective than Dwars. I was doing my best but I lost my energy at about 30kms from the finish... And I was with Boom in second group of favourites!
| 1 | Peter Sagan | Trek - Segafredo | 4h42'43 | | 2 | John Degenkolb | Bora - Hansgrohe | s.t. | | 3 | Greg Van Avermaet | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 4 | Sep Vanmarcke | Credit Agricole | s.t. | | 5 | Lasse Norman Hansen | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 6 | Ian Stannard | Team Sky | s.t. | | 7 | Luke Durbridge | Team Dimension Data | s.t. | | 8 | Mickaël Delage | FDJ | s.t. | | 9 | Ben Hermans | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 10 | Andrey Amador | Fortuneo - Oscaro | + 1'36 | | 37 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 2'49 |
This time Boom was 19th. As I didn't have any more energy it's a miracle I finished 37th. |

To be honest usually when team wants from me something like finish in the top 50, they also wants a breakaway. Like in previous two races. But I believe (especially with my stamina not being that high enough) it's better to concentrate on good place at the end.
Not that much cobbles this time. I'm preticting mass sprint. Favourites:
Four riders in a breakaway - +6'08 was maximum time I saw. Nothing exciting happened so it ended via mass sprint:
| 1 | Sep Vanmarcke | Credit Agricole | 5h37'11 | | 2 | Arnaud Démare | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 3 | Peter Sagan | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 4 | Sam Bennett | Team Dimension Data | s.t. | | 5 | Mark Cavendish | Team Sky | s.t. | | 6 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 7 | Fernando Gaviria | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 8 | Guillaume Van Keirsbulck | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 9 | Nelson Oliveira | Team Katusha - Alpecin | s.t. | | 10 | Stan Dewulf | Astana Pro Team | s.t. |
Yet I completely didn't expect this result from me. I'm very proud because I finished before many great riders that are better than me! It's great, I feel good. |

Wow, great job! Just was about to say you have nothing to loose by trying to go for it via break, but now that appeares in a very different light!

Croatia14 & sutty68: Thanks! I'm really happy I have fans around the world who follows my career!
Flat classic! Yahoo. This time I was a team-mate and I had to working at the front of peloton. It's all fine as it ended via mass sprint. It could and probably should been different. I attacked because peloton completely stopped working. Seriously. Breakaway easily increased they advantage, so I attacked. Because why not? Wrong...

Flat classic with some really nice cobble sections and +4 in RDC! Take a look at this: (Oops, a little preview on my stats)
I was only hoping that it'll end via mass sprint.
Whyyyyyyy?
You know where that happen? 4 freaking kms from the finish! You know what's more frustrating? It was my second crash...

Unlucky. But if you can keep up this form the next races will be very interesting if you are allowed to lead the team!

Usually I'm a team-mate, but sometimes after good results in the first stages I'm becoming a leader outsider or someone which goal is points classification.
A little amount of hills with some cobbles. I don't think I can finish this in a main group, but who knows? Is it possible that team knows better? They are expecting top 5 from me... +6'00 for a breakaway - 11 riders. At some point even Boom decided to attack which was weird for some reason to me.
| 1 | Arnaud Démare | Quick-Step Floors | 4h47'55 | | 2 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 8 | | 3 | Laurens De Plus | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 4 | Loic Vliegen | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 5 | Lars Boom | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 6 | Jens Debusschere | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 7 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 8 | Jenthe Biermans | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 9 | Maxime Farazijn | Beobank - Corendon | s.t. | | 10 | Corentin Ermenault | Total | s.t. |
What a great finish! Seriously, I didn't expect to do top 5 as my team wanted. It seems that they know better my abilities than I. Also it was last days of my fitness peak. Just before La Fleche Wallonne and some break after it.
I took that race easy. Not my terrain. I was just protecting our leader, Wout Poels.
Results by photo, some troubles via export.
I finished 168. +8'28"
Also. I'm thinking about something "weird" in future? What would you say for a one year with full calendar of racing in the World Tour? Only World Tour races, maybe even start in Grand Tour? (sadly I have same routes for every race every year...) |

can't you bring in some more variants f.e. with emmeas pack of stages, so that it is going a lot more diverse in terms of routes?

I'll see what I can add. But as I'm in the middle of my 4th season (now you see my third ), I don't know if it's worth it. Expansion Pack might be soon enough so I'll might just add stages from that. |

Ah! The Yorkshire! Now it's this part of the season when I'll do "domestique" role. Not many good results to come I believe.
Stage 1: I was working at the head of the peloton. I also tried to give Wippert the best possible position for a final sprint, but he decided to sprint very early...
| 1 | Matteo Pelucchi | Bora - Hansgrohe | 3h52'57 | | 2 | Danny Van Poppel | Orica - Scott | s.t. | | 3 | Adam Blythe | Aqua Blue Sport | s.t. | | 4 | Magnus Cort Nielsen | Gazprom - RusVelo | s.t. | | 5 | Fernando Gaviria | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 6 | Maurits Lammertink | Orica - Scott | s.t. | | 7 | Maciej Paterski | Team Dimension Data | s.t. | | 8 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 9 | Quentin Jauregui | FDJ | s.t. | | 10 | Ben Swift | Team Sky | s.t. | | 25 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 2: Again a stage when I had to work for my leaders. I also tried to do a sprint train for Wippert. Again it ended not very well... He wasn't even on my wheel, so I decided to sprint for myself.
| 1 | Matteo Pelucchi | Bora - Hansgrohe | 3h35'30 | | 2 | Danny Van Poppel | Orica - Scott | s.t. | | 3 | Fernando Gaviria | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 4 | Chris Opie | ONE Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 5 | Patryk Stosz | Team Wiggins | s.t. | | 6 | Ben Swift | Team Sky | s.t. | | 7 | Adam Blythe | Aqua Blue Sport | s.t. | | 8 | Christopher Latham | An Post - Chain Reaction | s.t. | | 9 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 10 | Ashley Dennis | BIKE Channel - Canyon | s.t. | | 11 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 3: Duurhuus domestique! Not my terrain. I was doing my best as long as I had energy.
| 1 | Valerio Conti | Team Dimension Data | 4h04'35 | | 2 | Maurits Lammertink | Orica - Scott | s.t. | | 3 | David Gaudu | FDJ | s.t. | | 4 | Jai Hindley | Bora - Hansgrohe | s.t. | | 5 | Davide Villella | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 6 | Magnus Cort Nielsen | Gazprom - RusVelo | s.t. | | 7 | Danny Van Poppel | Orica - Scott | s.t. | | 8 | Lars Petter Nordhaug | Aqua Blue Sport | s.t. | | 9 | Fernando Gaviria | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 10 | Ben Swift | Team Sky | s.t. | | 94 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 15'20 |
General Classification:
| 1 | Matteo Pelucchi | Bora - Hansgrohe | 11h32'42 | | 2 | Danny Van Poppel | Orica - Scott | + 6 | | 3 | Valerio Conti | Team Dimension Data | + 10 | | 4 | Maurits Lammertink | Orica - Scott | + 14 | | 5 | Fernando Gaviria | Quick-Step Floors | + 16 | | 6 | David Gaudu | FDJ | s.t. | | 7 | Ian Bibby | Team Raleigh - GAC | s.t. | | 8 | Rohan Dennis | Orica - Scott | + 17 | | 9 | Jake Kelly | Madison - Genesis | s.t. | | 10 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | + 19 | | 93 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 15'40 |
Belgium! It might be fun race. Probably again my role will be "work at the head of the group", but I'll try at some finishes for a top 10. It will be hard as I had a break and now I'm riding with fitness at about 80%.
Stage 1:
| 1 | Yves Lampaert | Quick-Step Floors | 9'07 | | 2 | Lionel Taminaux | Omega Pharma | + 2 | | 3 | Wout Van Aert | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 4 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 5 | Fredrik Ludvigsson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 3 | | 6 | Marko Kump | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 7 | Callum Scotson | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 8 | Damien Gaudin | Total | s.t. | | 9 | Jempy Drucker | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 10 | Simon Geschke | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 158 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 11 |
Stage 2: I went for an early breakaway, won two intermediate sprints and that's all. 8 riders in front group, maximum at +5'30". We got caught very late so I still finished at 6th place.
| 1 | Rudy Barbier | Total | 3h35'06 | | 2 | Sami Al Hamdani | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 3 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 4 | Christophe Laporte | FDJ | s.t. | | 5 | Erik Baska | Fortuneo - Oscaro | s.t. | | 6 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 7 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 8 | Marko Kump | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 9 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | s.t. | | 10 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 3: There are some cobble sections. Not much, but still. I was thinking about another breakaway, but I was in a great race day conditions. This time Lars Boom decided to join a breakaway with another rider from my team J. De Laat.
So close! Great performance. I was feeling really good that day.

Stage 4: At least for one day I was 5th in GC...
| 1 | Guillaume Martin | Lotto - Soudal | 4h52'57 | | 2 | Felix Grosschartner | Fortuneo - Oscaro | + 9 | | 3 | Yves Lampaert | Quick-Step Floors | + 18 | | 4 | Diego Ochoa | Total | s.t. | | 5 | Xandro Meurisse | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 6 | Jérémy Maison | Total | s.t. | | 7 | Thomas De Gendt | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 8 | Jaime Roson | Team Katusha - Alpecin | s.t. | | 9 | Vyacheslav Kuznetsov | Team Katusha - Alpecin | + 27 | | 10 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 60 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 1'46 |
Stage 5: Last stage and somehow I'm still first in points classification. It will be very hard to win that competition as Yves Lampaert have only 1 point less than me.
| 1 | Eliot Lietaer | Trek - Segafredo | 3h45'31 | | 2 | Tanguy Turgis | FDJ | s.t. | | 3 | Lluis Mas | Team Katusha - Alpecin | s.t. | | 4 | Jhonatan Narvaez | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 5 | Maxime Farazijn | Beobank - Corendon | s.t. | | 6 | Sander Armee | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 7 | Ludwig De Winter | WB Veranclassic - Aqua Protect | s.t. | | 8 | Niels Wytinck | Omega Pharma | s.t. | | 9 | Quinten Hermans | AGO - Aqua Service | s.t. | | 10 | Christophe Laporte | FDJ | s.t. | | 25 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
For the first time I believe I'm more than happy that breakaway was before the peloton. Thanks to that I won points classification there!

Still waiting for first win this season :/
From Belgium to Luxembourg. Another "five stages" race.
Stage 1: Short opening ITT.
| 1 | Lennard Kämna | Quick-Step Floors | 7'43 | | 2 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 3 | | 3 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | + 4 | | 4 | Maximilian Schachmann | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 5 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | + 5 | | 6 | Brendan Canty | Radio Deejay | + 7 | | 7 | Jenthe Biermans | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 8 | Rubén Zepuntke | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | + 9 | | 9 | Joey Rosskopf | Team Sunweb | + 10 | | 10 | Jacob Eriksson | Dura | s.t. | | 44 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 22 |
Stage 2: Not that flat stage. Again my role was working at the head of the group. At the finish I had to do sprint train for our leader W. Wippert. At least this time he did well.
| 1 | Pascal Ackermann | Team Sunweb | 4h34'10 | | 2 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | s.t. | | 3 | Jonas Van Genechten | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 4 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 5 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 6 | Felix Gall | Beobank - Corendon | s.t. | | 7 | Felix Grosschartner | Fortuneo - Oscaro | s.t. | | 8 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 9 | Jarl Salomein | Dura | s.t. | | 10 | Lorenzo Rota | Dura | s.t. | | 12 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 3: Hilly stage... But actually it ended via mass sprint. Just look at FDJ here:
| 1 | Johan Le Bon | FDJ | 4h53'36 | | 2 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | s.t. | | 3 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 4 | Olivier Le Gac | FDJ | s.t. | | 5 | Quentin Jauregui | FDJ | s.t. | | 6 | Pascal Ackermann | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 7 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 8 | Marko Kump | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 9 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 10 | Matvei Mamykin | Team Katusha - Alpecin | s.t. |
Stage 4: Another hard stage. I'm not expecting another mass sprint, but it's possible.
| 1 | Taylor Phinney | Trek - Segafredo | 4h09'43 | | 2 | Matvei Mamykin | Team Katusha - Alpecin | + 55 | | 3 | Koen De Kort | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 4 | Baptiste Planckaert | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 5 | Pascal Ackermann | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 6 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 7 | Andrea Fedi | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 8 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | s.t. | | 9 | Sami Al Hamdani | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 10 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 51 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
It ended via bunch sprint, but with not small peloton. Happy for De Kort, great finish!
Stage 5: Last stage and flat. C'mon Wippert!
| 1 | Lukas Spengler | Trek - Segafredo | 4h00'36 | | 2 | Pascal Ackermann | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 3 | Wesley Kreder | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 4 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 5 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | s.t. | | 6 | Rubén Zepuntke | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 7 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 8 | Jasper De Buyst | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 9 | Wouter Wippert | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 10 | Steven Lammertink | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
TEAM Philips is strong. Superb win by Spengler: from the breakaway, almost caught at the finish. I was also very close.
General Classification:
| 1 | Remigiusz Swierzynski | FDJ | 17h46'35 | | 2 | Lennard Kämna | Quick-Step Floors | + 8 | | 3 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 11 | | 4 | Maximilian Schachmann | Team Sunweb | + 12 | | 5 | Jan Bakelants | Lotto - Soudal | + 13 | | 6 | Brendan Canty | Radio Deejay | + 15 | | 7 | Jenthe Biermans | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | | 8 | Rubén Zepuntke | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | + 17 | | 9 | Jacob Eriksson | Dura | + 18 | | 10 | Felix Grosschartner | Fortuneo - Oscaro | + 19 | | 22 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 30 |
Somehow I was the highest classified rider from my team. I don't know how. Maybe if I could ride that opening ITT better... Who knows?
Yet another race with five stages.
Stage 1: An opening ITT. Great win by Rodenburg.
| 1 | Tim Rodenburg | TEAM Philips | 5'59 | | 2 | Jos Van Emden | Team Sunweb | + 1 | | 3 | Felix Becker | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 4 | Taylor Phinney | Trek - Segafredo | + 2 | | 5 | Jasper Hamelink | Metec - TKH p/b Mantel | + 3 | | 6 | Damien Howson | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 7 | Dylan Van Baarle | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 8 | Sven Erik Bystrom | Lotto - Soudal | + 4 | | 9 | Gaetan Bille | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 10 | Kasper Asgreen | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 78 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 15 |
Stage 2: Flat and easy stage. More difficult yet to come. So easy that breakaway won it. At least I was second from the peloton.
| 1 | Johim Ariesen | Metec - TKH p/b Mantel | 3h18'06 | | 2 | Manuel Todaro | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 3 | Jose Alfredo Aguirre | Ruralvia | s.t. | | 4 | Tijmen Eising | Destil - Jo Piels Cycling Team | s.t. | | 5 | Etienne Van Empel | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 6 | Nils Eekhof | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 7 | Jochem Hoekstra | SEG Racing Academy | s.t. | | 8 | Lars Van Den Berg | Vacansoleil | s.t. | | 9 | Remco Te Brake | Delta Cycling Rotterdam | s.t. | | 10 | Maxime Monfort | Trek - Segafredo | s.t. | | 11 | Hayato Yoshida | Telenet - Fidea Lions | s.t. | | 12 | Max Deyl | Monkey Town Continental Team | s.t. | | 13 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | + 1'19 | | 14 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 3: Flat, but very difficult stage with many KotM finishes. Another decent top 10 place.
| 1 | Barry Markus | Dura | 5h19'39 | | 2 | Amaury Capiot | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 3 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | | 4 | Marco Zanotti | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 5 | Jens Debusschere | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 6 | Kasper Asgreen | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 7 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 8 | Sami Al Hamdani | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 9 | Mathias Krigbaum | Leopard Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 10 | Tim Rodenburg | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 4: Now the stage that will decide about final classification. I was not expecting to finish in main group. And you know what? Breakaway won it again.
| 1 | Ricardo Van Dongen | Vacansoleil | 4h57'28 | | 2 | Jan Maas | Monkey Town Continental Team | s.t. | | 3 | Matthew Brammeier | Destil - Jo Piels Cycling Team | s.t. | | 4 | Maxime Michaux | Ruralvia | s.t. | | 5 | Floris De Tier | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 6 | Ramon Sinkeldam | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 7 | Sami Al Hamdani | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 8 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Vérandas Willems - Crelan | s.t. | | 9 | Mathieu Van Der Poel | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 10 | Jens Debusschere | Lotto - Soudal | s.t. | | 14 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. |
Stage 5: Last stage and flat for pure sprinters. I'll try breakaways in Pologne as Tour is very close.
| 1 | Sami Al Hamdani | Team Sunweb | 3h50'20 | | 2 | Barry Markus | Dura | s.t. | | 3 | Amaury Capiot | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 4 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | s.t. | | 5 | Mathieu Van Der Poel | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 6 | Felix Becker | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 7 | Ramon Sinkeldam | Team Sunweb | s.t. | | 8 | Julien Simon | Quick-Step Floors | s.t. | | 9 | Jose Alfredo Aguirre | Ruralvia | s.t. | | 10 | Johim Ariesen | Metec - TKH p/b Mantel | s.t. |
I'm not a pure sprinter but 4th place is very good at the end for this race.
General Classification:
| 1 | Manuel Todaro | Leopard Pro Cycling | 17h31'30 | | 2 | Johim Ariesen | Metec - TKH p/b Mantel | + 4 | | 3 | Jochem Hoekstra | SEG Racing Academy | + 9 | | 4 | Hayato Yoshida | Telenet - Fidea Lions | s.t. | | 5 | Nils Eekhof | Team Sunweb | + 10 | | 6 | Lars Van Den Berg | Vacansoleil | + 11 | | 7 | Etienne Van Empel | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | + 14 | | 8 | Jose Alfredo Aguirre | Ruralvia | + 15 | | 9 | Remco Te Brake | Delta Cycling Rotterdam | + 16 | | 10 | Maxime Monfort | Trek - Segafredo | + 19 | | 40 | Jonas Duurhuus | TEAM Philips | + 1'36 |
