Dutch Anna Van der Brenggen (SD Worx-Protime), winner of the fourth phase of Women’s Spain’s tour, said Wednesday that it was “a wonderful success”, proof that things were “well.”
“I didn’t expect it, because it wasn’t the team’s plan. The original idea was to try with ‘Gerrie’ (Femke Gerritse) again. It was a very good success. Things were fine for us,” he said in statements released by the racial organizations.
His teammates Femke Gerritse, current general leader, won Tuesday with victory in the third stage of Vuelta, which, according to Van Der Breggen, gave them “confidence that you could defeat sprinters like Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease to Bike)”, occupying the second place.
“Yesterday was a good day, where we could see Femke’s win and gave us the confidence that he could defeat a sprinter like Marianne (you). Things were fine,” he said.
Facing the fifth phase, which will be passed this Thursday of more than 120.4 kilometers between the towns of Golmayo (Soria) and Lagunan de Neila (Burgos), the Zwolle cyclist said “will be the stage of battle, as the speed of the rise is now very high.”
“Whatever it is, right now we have in our pocket,” he said.
