Been watching Olav Kooij since 2022 ZLM tour where he won 4 stages and the overall GC. I told my friend about him that he was gonna be a great sprinter.

If you look the replay from the air, at the turn Kooij started pedaling like 5 or 6 pedal strokes before Pedersen, and that was the difference for the win.

If you weren't top two into that last corner, you had no chance. Pedersen couldn't have played it any better.

Need to be uphill for Mads to beat a pure sprinter like kooij.. flat after that last turn 😟

[@JohnMFlores]

Nice vid and great ride but Matt's swinging saddlebag is triggering me 😂 Hope he knee is feeling better.

[@camillelively]

Remco gonna Remco. 😅

Pederson was stronger with that stint in the wind
