"Because of the fight for positioning, the legs were already cooked" - Dylan Groenewegen unable to conquest hectic sprint on stage 3

Dylan Groenewegen crossed the line in Bayonne 8th, far from what he had hoped for. After the hectic finale, the Ducth sprinter simply didn't have enough energy to fully dive into the sprint, despite having quite good legs, according to his own words.

"The team did a good job in what was expected to be a hectic final," Groenewegen evaluated after the stage. "We have yet to meet on the bus, but I think we were a little too far at a mile. Luka Mezgec and I came a long way, which wasn't bad, but we got stuck between the fences and had to brake."

"I tried to go, but my sprint was already done," said Groenewegen. "Because of the fight for positioning, the legs were already cooked. However, the legs felt good, so on to the next chance on Tuesday," said Groenewgen motivated.
