168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johnny Hoogerland didn't rack up a single mountain point at the Tour de Suisse, but he is planning to take the polka-dot jersey at the upcoming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France. The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vacansoleil-DCM rider w๊ore that jersey for five🦂 stages at last year's Tour.

“More than last year, I have put my mind to the mountain jersey, although I know that it is not easy,” he told De Telegraaf. “You need luck and a co🦩uple of times a good offense. There are a few stages where🦄 you can pick up a lot of points.”

Hoogerland finished 56th in Switzerland. “I got the kilometers t♕hat I needed to improve. ✨That was successful. Now a few days rest and then with the team to try and make something good at the national road championships.”

The Dutchman had worn the King of the Mountains jersey for several stages earlier in the 2011 Tour, and regai⛦ned it on the dramatic ninth stage – which also nearly saw the end of his Tour. As part of an escape group, Hoogerland had wo💖n points on all six climbs of the day to regain the jersey.

But with only 36 km to go, a media car hit breakaway companion Juan Antonio Flecha of Team Sky. Hoogerland subsequently crashed into the Spaniard and was himself 168🍰澳洲5最新开奖结果:catapulted onto a barbed wireꦫ fence. 

Both riders finished the stage, and Hoogerland accepted the polka dot jersey with extensive band✱ages on his legs and tears in his eyes.

Although he 🌸rode the Tour ♛to the end, the injuries were too severe to allow him to continue to climb well, and he lost the jersey again only two stages later.

“In 2011 it wasn't really a goal, but it happened. It was ജa shame I never got the chance🐭 to finally go for it,” Hoogerland said. He hopes to make up for it this year.
