"I can look back on the past week with a positive feeling"

Wilco Kelderman

"I could not ride the time trial as I had in mind beforehand, but in hindsight it was a fine performance. Towards the top of the climb it became difficult to keep riding smoothly. In the end, it was a fight all the way to the line. Due to some crashes, I was out of competition for a long time. I am definitely satisfied to finish here in the top ten of the final classification. I can look back on the past week with a positive feeling”, Kelderman said.
