Volta Limburg Classic winner Kaden Groves: "My hard work over the winter is being paid back"
Cycling
After powering his way to dominate victory at the Volta Limburg Classic, Kaden Groves was full of praise for his Alpecin-Deceuninck team and the patience they have shown in him.
“This makes me very happy,” Groves told reporters in the immediate aftermath of his win. “I had a good week in Catalonia and knew I was coming here in good shape.”
Outnumbered two-to-one by Lotto Dstny riders going into the final kilometres, Groves had to ride smart. "Lotto Dstny was able to play it tactically, so I had to keep riding. Then they certainly wouldn't start attacking, but that didn't make it easy," said the Australian. “Fortunately, my hard work over the winter is being paid back. I really have to thank the team. They have been patient with me, because the results took a while.”
