April 10, 2011 (Aduard, The Netherlands)-HTC-Highroad’s Adrie Visser achieved overall victory in the EnergieWacht Tour in her home country of Holland on Sunday. Visser moved into the overall lead after winning stage three of the four-day race on Saturday, and then finished safely in the main pack on the last stage.

“This is my first stage race victory as a pro and to get it in Holland makes it even more special,” a delighted Visser said.

“Today [Sunday] wasn’t about winning the stage, the important thing was about me taking the leader’s jersey all the way to the final finish line.”

“I have to give a big thank you to everybody on the team for looking after me so well.”

“[HTC-Highroad team-mates] Charlotte Becker, Emilia [Fahlin] and Evelyn [Stevens] all worked really hard for me during the stage, and Ina [Teutenberg] found me in the bunch and guided me through the last kilometer, which was really difficult and technical, to make sure I was ok.”

Visser said the battle to get the stage win and the lead on Saturday had
helped her and her team-mates raise their game even higher on Sunday.

“We did very well yesterday when we didn’t have the perfect cards to play, and we had already shown our strength.”

“Having fought so hard made us all feel extra motivated for today, and I have to say the race went perfectly. It’s certainly something to celebrate!”
