LottoNL-Jumbo's Dylan Gronewegen has said that he was helped to a fantastic day by his team mates as he took a victory in the third stage of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.
"The guys helped me to a fantastic day," Groenewegen said after his victory to his team's press office. "Paul, Steven, Tom, Alexey, Koen, Victor, Dennis… they were fantastic. It feels great to win in the first sprint of the season and repay the team’s confidence. "
The final was hectic but Team LottoNL-Jumbo remained positioned and dropped off Dylan well in the last kilometre.
"I was positioned well and in the last 500 metres, I took the wheel of Bouhanni," Groenewegen continued. "He still had two of his men in front of him. I noticed when he went for the sprint that I could pass but I waited. At the very end, I came up and over for the victory – one for me and the team.”
