🇳🇱 #zlmtour 💬 "We came here to win a stage. The fact that we managed to do that immediately is fantastic. We couldn't have wished for a better start." - @KooijOlav Read more in our report! ✍🏼⤵️
The first stage of the ZLM Tour was won by Olav Kooij. The Dutchman outpaced his opponents on the narrow streets of Kapelle, bringing his season tally to five wins. Kooij will take the lead in the yellow jersey next stage.
“The goal was to win a stage here, That it succeeds at the first chance we couldn't wish for a better start, I'm not at my absolute peak yet, but it's enough to win here. I had a good feeling today and we took the initiative with the team." Kooji said.
For Kooij, it is already his fifth win of the season. After his crash in Hungary, he was out of action for a few weeks. This victory in the ZLM Tour, therefore, does him good. "It's good to get that self-confidence and I'm happy to finish it like this," he concludes.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
