“This victory is very important for me, because winning is not easy. We have some very good, young guys. But today I was able to benefit from my teammates,” said the Dutch champion of Baloise Trek Lions. Halfway through the race, Van der Haar rode in a leading group with Iserbyt, Nys and Joris Nieuwenhuis. Van der Haar decided to attack with the help of teammate Nys. “I was able to come back in one go. I take over and Thibau gives me a hole and that’s what happened.”
