168澳洲5最新开奖结果:BMC Racing’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Floris Gerts took his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:first win as a professional Saturday at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Volta Limburg Classic, attacking in the final kilometre and outsprinting Sonny Colbrelli (Bar🥂diani-CSF) in the finale.
BM🐬C’s Philippe Gilbert was third, crossing the line in a group of six that finished two seconds behind the lead duo. Gerts took his 🍌win in his home region in the Netherlands.
"For me it feels like my home ride and I train a lot in this area," he said. "Although I haven't trained here in the last six months, I know all of the road and exactly where and what was coming. I was actually looking forward to this race all year and this week I said to mysel♑f that I have to give it everything. I didn't want any regrets after the race. It was really a team effort."
The race was Gerts’ first time competing in Holland this season, and the 23-year-old neo-pro made the most of his opportunity.
Gerts 🌺slipped away from a select lead group that included a handful of BMC teammates, includin𒉰g fourth-placed Rick Zabel.
"In the last kilometer Philippe pushed me a little so I attacked a🎀gain," he said. "Tꦿhe other guys behind me weren't really chasing but I don't really know what happened behind me. I kept going and I got to the finish line. It felt like all of the other riders deserved the win just as much, so it really was a team effort. I cannot describe it better than that."
The win gives Gerts a confidence boost after a hard crash earlier this season at Le Samyn.
