ProTeam Steffen De Schuyteneer sprints to a strong 2nd place in stage 2 of the Tour of Denmark

“It was a good day,” said a happy De Schuyteneer (20). The short, flat 105 km stage from Rødovre to Gladsaxe was animated by a break of seven riders. “Behind them, Baptiste (Veistroffer) controlled the race the whole day—he was really strong. Jonas (Gregaard) also did a lot of work to keep everything in check.”

As expected, stage two ended in a sprint. “The whole team put me in the perfect position. Everyone did their job perfectly, with a perfect lead-out from Josh (Giddings) at the end. Two Uno-X Mobility riders launched the sprint. I was on Wærenskjold’s wheel but couldn’t come around him. I think I still need to be a bit more confident to open up myself, but nevertheless I’m very happy with this second place. I’m up there among big names, thanks to perfect teamwork.”
