Harm Vanhoucke secured second place in GC in Sibiu Cycling Tour. He won silver in the queen stage and third place in the ITT.
“Despite a second place overall, I end this Sibiu Tour with a good feeling. After a difficult Giro, it is nice to be up there again. This gives me confidence and makes sure I can work towards future goals with a good feeling”, said Vanhoucke.
He first secured a podium visit in the queen stage of the tour, which pushed his GC ranking to the top just behind defending champion Giovanni Aleotti. Then he secured bronze in the ITT stage held on Tuesday, 15 seconds behind stage winner Aleotii and kept his second position in GC.
“The course of the queen stage was quite straightforward with only the almost 25 kilometers long climb at the end. There the strongest guys would automatically come to the fore. I gave my all during the time trial, which resulted in third place. During the closing stage, the team again did a great job keeping me in front with the technical finish in mind. I managed to finish safely inside the bunch and could step onto the podium as second on GC”, concluded Vanhoucke.
