Renewi Tour: Sprintfest



It's August and we have another WorldTour race in the Netherlands and Belgium! The Renewi Tour: five-day race through the Low Countries. On the opening stage, Tim Merlier made it effortless to win the sprint in Breskens and snag the race's leader's jersey. Arnaud De Lie (Lotto) and Sebastian Molano (UAE) finish second and third on the stage, respectively. 

"I was able to start my sprint when I wanted to. And no one could get past me, so I'm super happy. Now I really felt that we had a good position. We've had to come from further back before. We had the race under control, and the team did a fantastic job of getting me into a good position. I was able to start the sprint with fresh legs. It's a great victory for the team. 

I said at the time that I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I'm happy that I can show at the highest level what I'm capable of."
-Tim Merlier. Last Sunday, Merlier lost a sprint in the Belgian gravel championship.
