My home-town advantage

It’s really nice to do some races in my home country, especially around here for the Delta Tour. This is near the area where I grew up and used to train. So I know the roads and there is a lot of support from the Dutchies!

Today is the last day of this short stage race and it’s going to be a game of seconds. We still have a few guys in good position for the GC. For myself, the GC is the most important goal. I am only 4 seconds from the leader. Today’s stage has some cobble sections that I know. That and the fact that I raced here before will probably help me.
