Pascal Eenkhoorn: "To be in the history of Dutch cycling is really nice"

The Dutch road cycling championship was won by Pascal Eenkhoorn. He managed to finish ahead of his breakaway partner Daan Hoole, in what was the best result of his career and a very important win.

"This is cool. It's a bit unexpected, but nice to finish it, It was a tactical race, actually like always at the national championships. I just had good legs. Eventually, we had an offensive situation and Hoole attacked," Eenkhoorn explained.
