the dutch cyclist Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) won this Thursday at third stage of the Tour of Denmarkin a group sprint perfectly controlled by the team Jumbo-Vismawhich also took second place from the French Christopher Laportewhile the danish Magnus Court (EF Education-EasyPost) the third, while Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) maintained the lead.
With this result, after adding time bonuses, Laporte moved up to second place overall along with Sheffield, who managed to hold on to his blue leader’s jersey, with two stages to go, three seconds behind the Danish with Mattias Skjelmose (Trek -Segafredo) in third position.
Kooij, for his part, completed the 239.3km route between Otterup and Herning in 5 hours, 18 minutes and 45 seconds and has two wins in three stages, although his poor result in last Wednesday’s time trial has hindered his chances in the general .
However, the 20-year-old Dutchman extended his particular winning streak to his eighth stage victory so far, the tenth of his career, where he added two wins on his country’s MRZ Tour and the Circuit of the Sarthe-Pays de Loire (France) in 2022.
It was also a very positive day for Jumbo-Visma, which celebrated its 900th victory as a cycling team with a victory and second place for its riders.
The fourth stage of the Tour of Denmark takes place this Friday, and will cover a closed circuit of 167.3km starting and finishing in Skive. EFE
