Epic Van Aert leadout fires Olav Kooij to stage 1 win at the Tour of Britain
CyclingSunday, 03 September 2023 at 16:48
Jumbo-Visma's Olav Kooij has taken opening stage victory in a bunch sprint at the Tour of Britain, moving into the early race lead as a result.
A five-man breakaway formed, including Harry Tanfield and Fredrik Dversnes but the peloton was keeping a tight leash on the leaders. As such with 40km left, Tanfield was one of two to wait up for the bunch, leaving a trio up front.
Heading into the final 10km, they held just 28 seconds lead. Dversnes was the last man standing but with 1.6km to go, he finally was caught. In the final sprint, it looked like a battle between Sam Bennett and Olav Kooij. Kooij fired first and there was no beating the young Dutchman with leadout man Wout van Aert actually holding on for second.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint).

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
