Well into the third week of the first Grand Tour of his career,
Marijn van den Berg showed he still has good legs on stage 19, coming as close as he yet has to a stage win by coming 3rd in a bunch sprint in Iscar.
“Of course you go for more, but there was a big crash and I was a bit behind,” recapped the
EF Education-EasyPost sprinter in his post-stage interview. “I tried to move up. The guys tried to do a lead-out, but I wasn't in the wheels. That was a pity. But the sprint itself was pretty good, I think. I was just sitting a bit too far back.”
