It didn't take long for
Gerben Thijssen to win his first race of 2024 at
Trofeo Palma. After a good work from his
Intermarché - Wanty teammates to set up the final, the 25-year-old also executed his task perfectly and gave no chance to Alexander Kristoff and Marijn van den Berg.
"Actually, we had already planned this victory," Thijssen reveals to SpazioCiclismo after the race. "Since December when we had a meeting with the directors and technicians of the team, we had seen last year's sprint, how they had done it, and this year it was up to me to try."
