Puncheurs hit the spotlight at the Tour de Pologne

Since the seven-week started on Monday, Pepijn Reinderink has been one of the most active riders out there. Soudal Quick-Step’s neo-pro put in a solid attack on the final climb of the opening stage, being reeled in with just two kilometers to go, and concluded the time trial as the highest ranked member of the team.
On Wednesday, when the bunch travelled from Wałbrzych to Duszniki-Zdrój, the Dutchman booked a place in a ten-man breakaway that looked good and had hopes of making it all the way to the finish. Pepijn impressed with this workload and long pulls there, but unfortunately, he crashed with 50 kilometers to go, which spelled the end of his adventure at the front of the race, the peloton reeling him in moments later.
In the end, it all came back together and Thibau Nys (Lidl-Trek) took the win on the uphill finish of stage three, while Martin Svrcek was our first rider home. The race will now move onto the flat, with the sprinters getting their first of three opportunities scheduled this week in Poland.
