Great result in Denmark for Stijn
Maybe he's ready to try for the points jersey in one of the GT's next season |

@johannes-w:v I hope so, too. He's been close twice, but Cobo was a bit faster two times 
@TomC: Like I said before: I have a lot of spare time atm pace should drastically change when uni starts (probably 1 report/day)
@JuanMotr: Thanks a lot, really!
@daggers81: exactly what I was thinking at the moment Stijn's training on puncher (to survive the hills better and get more REC)
@hiiam2412:
@Schleck96: Thanks! |

World Port Classics - Stage 1
The second edition of this race. This is a stage race for the sprinters, so I was present, and with the form I'm going on lately, I should be able to do something here.
Willems was in the breakaway of the day and scores the only KoM points to be earned today, nice job!
The peloton moved slowly and the breakaway only got caught at 3.5km from the finish, close call!
I started my sprint a bit late but as we headed into the final turn, I could already picture myself on the podium! Nobody of the favorites was well-positioned. Degenkolb, Kittel... They were all in the middle of the peloton.
And Lotto-Belisol takes the 1-2! I win, Jonas Vangenechten sprints to a nice 2nd place.
Result
| 1 | Stijn Van Gent | Lotto-Belisol | 4h29'15 | IanButler | | 2 | Jonas Vangenechten | Lotto-Belisol | s.t. | IanButler | | 3 | Maxime Vantomme | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | s.t. | | | 4 | Alessandro Ballan | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | | 5 | Laurence Franssens | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | | 6 | Roger Kluge | Team NetApp | s.t. | | | 7 | Christian Kux | Team NetApp | s.t. | | | 8 | Serge Pauwels | Accent.Jobs - Willems Veranda’s | s.t. | | | 9 | Huub Duyn | CyclingTeam De Rijke | s.t. | | | 10 | Angelo Tulik | Team Europcar | s.t. | |
Tomorrow we go back to Rotterdam. |

World Port Classics - Stage 2
Welcome to stage 2 of this young race.
Today was a boring race for the viewers at home, as you probably already saw on the tv. The whole day long you didn't see anything but this:
5km before the KoM sprint, Willems jumped out of the peloton and secured his jersey! A nice thing for him to take home.
My legs aren't nearly as good as yesterday and I feel a massive shortcoming in the sprint. Pelucchi wins, I end up 7th.
Result
| 1 | Matteo Pelucchi | Team Europcar | 4h24'20 | | | 2 | Maxime Vantomme | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | s.t. | | | 3 | Adam Blythe | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | | 4 | William Bonnet | FDJ-BigMat | s.t. | | | 5 | Reinier Honig | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | s.t. | | | 6 | Gediminas Bagdonas | An Post - Sean Kelly | s.t. | | | 7 | Stijn Van Gent | Lotto-Belisol | s.t. | IanButler | | 8 | Sep Vanmarcke | Team Argos-Shimano | s.t. | | | 9 | Leonardo Duque | Cofidis, Le Crédit en Ligne | s.t. | | | 10 | Yoeri Havik | CyclingTeam De Rijke | s.t. | |
GC
| 1 | Maxime Vantomme | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | 8h53'15 | | | 2 | Stijn Van Gent | Lotto-Belisol | s.t. | IanButler | | 3 | Matteo Pelucchi | Team Europcar | s.t. | | | 4 | Jonas Vangenechten | Lotto-Belisol | + 8 | IanButler | | 5 | Adam Blythe | BMC Racing Team | + 12 | | | 6 | Serge Pauwels | Accent.Jobs - Willems Veranda’s | + 14 | | | 7 | Marcel Kittel | Rabobank Cycling Team | s.t. | | | 8 | Frederik Willems | Lotto-Belisol | + 16 | IanButler | | 9 | Wilco Kelderman | Rabobank Cycling Team | s.t. | | | 10 | Alex Meenhorst | Team Differdange - Magic-sportfood.de | + 18 | |
Points
| 1 | Maxime Vantomme | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | 36 | | | 2 | Stijn Van Gent | Lotto-Belisol | 34 | IanButler | | 3 | Matteo Pelucchi | Team Europcar | 25 | | | 4 | Jonas Vangenechten | Lotto-Belisol | 20 | IanButler | | 5 | Alessandro Ballan | BMC Racing Team | 17 | |
KoM
| 1 | Frederik Willems | Lotto-Belisol | 10 | IanButler | | 2 | Serge Pauwels | Accent.Jobs - Willems Veranda’s | 3 | | | 3 | Tom Jelte Slagter | Rabobank Cycling Team | 3 | | | 4 | Alex Meenhorst | Team Differdange - Magic-sportfood.de | 1 | | | 5 | Frédéric Amorison | Landbouwkrediet-Euphony | 1 | |
Well, this kind of makes me wish I participates in the intermediate sprint, seeing how that would've made me the winner of both the GC and the Points Jersey... I'll never make that mistake again.
Tomorrow, Eric rides again! |
