Dylan Groenewegen "can still take confidence" from Tirreno-Adriatico despite missing out on stage win

Although he may have been edged out by Jasper Philipsen in the sprint for victory on the final stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, Jayco AlUla's Dylan Groenewegen is doing his best to look at the positives.

“I was in a good position, but there was someone slightly fresher or simply better today,” Groenewegen told his team's official website following the conclusion of the race. "That is difficult to accept, but I can still take confidence to the next competition, which is coming very soon.”

“It was a difficult week and today the opening phase was also very tough,” he reflected. "There was a lot of climbing, but the team did well by taking control with the other sprinter teams. On the local circuit it went very fast and I was put in a good position.”

Next up for Groenewegen will be trips to Classic Brugge-De Panne and Dwars door Vlaanderen where he will surely be hoping to be the rider crossing the line with his arms aloft.
