Reinderink wins the KOM jersey in Luxembourg

Pepijn Reinderink took his biggest result in the pro ranks at one of the season’s oldest races, the Tour de Luxembourg, which this year ran its 84th edition. The 22-year-old, who had already impressed in 2024 at a number of races – from the Tour du Rwanda to Okolo Slovenska – became the Dutchman in 12 years to finish at the top of the climbers’ classification.

It was a success that Pepijn built on the back of some solid outings in the first two stages of the event, where he went in the breakaway and took maximum points on a total of ten classified ascents. This put him in control of the standings with a hefty gap on the other riders and helped Soudal Quick-Step’s neo-pro carry the jersey to Luxembourg, where the race came to a conclusion Sunday afternoon.

“Luxembourg was a pretty hard race, but I enjoyed being here. I came in quite a good shape at the start and I am content with how I rode and proud of the whole team. To be on the podium at the end of the race and get my first pro jersey here makes me happy and feeds my confidence ahead of the final appointments of the season, where I’m motivated to do my best again”, Pepijn said at the finish.

In the general classification, Mauri Vansevenant came just outside the podium after a brave effort on the last day. The stage 3 winner was extremely active on the hilly roads around the country’s capital, picking up bonus seconds at the last intermediate sprint and going on the attack, and in the end, he finished fourth overall – the ninth time in his career that he took a top ten result in a stage race.
