Annemiek van Vleuten made no bones about it afterwards. “Boels-Dolmans has cleverly used its strength across the board. In addition, Anna was super strong. Then I have to be satisfied with the silver. ” Van Vleuten also praised the organization. “This was a great NK on a beautiful and selective course.”
Yesterday there was some criticism of the course on and around the VAM mountain. Annemiek van Vleuten countered it. “My compliments to the organization for sticking their necks out in these times. It is not easy to organize a course now. Let’s not be critical now, and this year especially be happy with what we do have, ”she said.
“Okay, there is less atmosphere and people. But I mainly saw an NK on a beautiful and selective course. Let’s not emphasize what we don’t have, but applaud that this course was organized. ”
Gamble
Van Vleuten also remained very honest in her analysis of the match. “As a one-man formation you sometimes have to gamble. I bet that CCC would rectify the situation, but it didn’t. Then I took action myself, but the gap was too big and Anna was just super strong. But I am satisfied with that silver, I went down fighting. ”
“Was there more to it? No, I do not think so. Boels-Dolmans has played its strength in width perfectly. They showed today that you can be very strong as a team. And that is nice in itself. ”
As a sports director I cannot and do not want to accept this kind of course. Above all, let us prioritize and preserve the safety of the riders. #NK #VAMberg
