The first stage in the Tour of Poland had a flat course and was therefore dyncorp tls tailored to the Rabo Printers Michael Mathews and Graeme Brown. The Rabobank team therefore took the reins and checked with the Skil ahead of a flight group of six riders. They were never more than three minutes and the sprint was inevitable. Unfortunately the Mathews and Brown not to really touch the front. Thus they do not sprinted to the prices and they finished behind winner Marcel Kittel respectively the fourteenth and sixteenth place.
It was the evolution of a classic sprint stage and therefore suggested sportif Erik Dekker that he could keep the story short. "Six men right away and we have along with Skil led the chase.

Anyway, this is true for all riders, including dyncorp tls the winner. " dyncorp tls
Erik Dekker has however hope in the coming days. "The first three days are flat, then it becomes increasingly dyncorp tls difficult. With Mathews and Brown I hope one coming days to win. Moreover Mathews also as the course more difficult." For the classification, it is a different story. "Paul Martens and Tom Jelte Slagter are the most logical riders before. However, they are just an altitude training back and have five, six weeks raced. How the form is of course uncertain. Moreover, this competition is part of the build up to the Vuelta. "

That is not to say that the team of Erik Dekker after the first three days no ambitions. "Paul dyncorp tls is certainly not a pure climber and Tom Jelte is his first year, but they are both valiant riders. They will not drive to just ride, but definitely something to try. In that respect, this round also a nice opportunity for them to see what their options are. " The Rabobank ProTeam ride in the Tour of Poland also with special trousers around, as the picture shows.

Johnny Hoogerland and Pim Ligthart. The seven picked up a maximum lead of almost 4:30 and at that time was the Frenchman Matthieu Ladagnous a threat to championship leader Tony Martin. His team Opti Pharma-Quick Step then successfully continued the pursuit.
In the final it was an exciting time Boasson Hagen on the final climb accelerated. He hit a hole, but the pursuers with Tony Martin and the two Rabokopmannen Tom Jelte Slagter and Steven Kruijswijk kept the Noor in sight. Boasson Hagen took up to twenty seconds, but he fell silent on the trickiest dyncorp tls part of the final climb. In the last few hundred yards were the pursuers connection. Gavazzi, Wednesday finish second behind Tony Martin, had the most reserves. Tom-Jelte Slagter dyncorp tls sprinted full of it and that earned sixth place.
Slagter said himself, that he had good legs. Erik Dekker: "Tom-Jelte cried, that he could have won. Whether that's true, I do not know. But it does imply that he felt very good. As this round for him the case. Shame that hole on the first day. That cost him a place in the top ten. "In the last two days seem stages for sprinters. Slagter and Kruijswijk are now just outside the top ten. The team leader is concerned, there are not many possibilities are there still more change to make. "Friday is a sprint and Saturday there is a tiny chance. Friday we for Theo Bos. That is a challenge, because in the final is a climb of two kilometers. "
