Van Emden and Gesink conclude fine week positively.

Robert Gesink managed to end the Tour de Romandie in a positive way. The Dutch Team LottoNL-Jumbo finished 21st in the final time trial and secured the 15th spot in the overall.

Robert Gesink managed to end the Tour de Romandie in a positive way. The Dutch Team LottoNL-Jumbo finished 21st in the final time trial and secured the 15th spot in the overall.

The Dutchman can look back on the steps he has recently made after the 17.3-kilometer race against the clock with a positive outlook. After the Queen Stage (in which he placed 11th) he stated that his performance was magnificent compared to where he was last month.

Jos van Emden

Jos van Emden sat on the hot seat for a while on Sunday after going fastest in 24'12". Eventually he finished 18th, down at 55 seconds of winner Tony Martin of Etixx-QuickStep.

“I sat there for maybe ten seconds, but at least I was up there with the top rider. I cannot remember having been allowed to take place in a hotseat ever before. Of course, I would have loved to sit there a little longer, but I'm satisfied with my performance. Especially when you think about all those big riders having lined up here. Today was a nice conclusion. Things went well for me this week, even uphill.”

Erik Dekker

Dekker looked back satisfied on Sunday, just like Van Emden and Gesink. “With Bert-Jan Lindeman, we mixed in for a stage win, which is positive, and in fact the whole team rode strong, only Laurens ten Dam was disappointed that he did not achieve his hoped-for level. After breaking some ribs, he has made a quick and smooth return. He did well in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but unfortunately it wasn’t for him this week.”

Tom Van Asbroeck

Tom Van Asbroeck completed his first World Tour stage race on Sunday. The Belgian sprinter gained valuable climbing experience. Dekker saw that his rider was never really in trouble.

“Tom has had some hard days, but he went well,” Dekker said, “he was never alone in the mountains and that’s a good thing when you look at the goal we set.”
