Tour de Maurice | Stage 2 ✅🌴
Stage 3 was a brutal day in the Mauritian heat, with a tough Cat 1 climb, relentless attacks, and the peloton splitting to pieces throughout the day 🥵
Early on, Willem found himself in a strong 5-man breakaway that built a gap of almost 3 minutes. As the race unfolded, groups merged and attacks continued flying, making for an aggressive and unpredictable stage.
With around 25km to go and the decisive climb approaching, the race was poised for fireworks. Unfortunately, disaster struck when Willem crashed just before the climb 💥 The boys worked hard to help tow him back, but the bunch exploded on the climb and the race was on.
Despite the setback, Willem showed incredible determination, fighting all the way to the line to finish 16th on the stage! 🙌🏼
The result moves him up to 14th overall on GC and 4th in the U23 classification, keeping him well in the mix with more racing still to come! 👏🏼
A tough day, but plenty of fight shown by the team once again. On to the next one! 🚴🏼♂️
