Bakelants in the hunt for Eneco glory
Tour de France stag꧂e winner looking for more♑ success




Tour de France stage winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jan Bakelants (RadioShack) has put himself in a strong position for further success after finishing fifth in the penultimate stage of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Eneco Tour on Sunday. Although a respectable result, the Belgian rider was expecting more ⛎after spending time in the race defining breakaway.
"It's a pity that I didn't have good 🤪legs today. I expected so mu꧙ch from this stage," said Bakelants.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Radioshack director Dirk Demol, on the other hand, was satisfied with Bakelants' efforts o♏n 'bad' legs.
"If he has bad legs and still performs so well in a short but very hard stage with three times over the Chambralles and Redoute, we are st🐈ill happy with that," said Demol. "There were riders all over the course, the stage was so diffiꦅcult."
Demol also believes that the team🎃 can take advantage of the expected aggression from Omega Pharma-Quickstep as the race heads i🤡nto the final stage on Sunday.
"[Tom] Dumoulin was surprisingly strong on La Redoute. In theory it will be very hard to beat him, but the real question is how strong is his Argos team?" Questioned Demol. "Omega Pharm🔜a have [Zdenek] Stybar and [Sylvan] Chavanel. They will noᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt give up so maybe we can take advantage of that."
The Eneco Tour concludes with a 'mini Flanders' stage that sees riders tackle many of the Flemish cobbles used during the spring classics. With seven riders within 50 seconds of the overall lead expect to see multiple attacks as teams compete for valuable WorldTour points.
