Arnold Jeannesson (Fra) FDJ was third. Routley’s teammate Lucas Euser (USA) won the Sprint and Mountain Classifications .

Quote From Will Routley, Second Place
“I’ve known for a few weeks now that I have been due for a breakthrough. My form has been good and the team has been riding together as a unit more and more all the time. Today it finally happened. Everyone did such a good job supporting one another as a team, and I felt really strong. I’m very happy to get our first podium over here in Europe. I know the mistakes I made coming into the final sprint, and might lose a little sleep in knowing if I did the finish a little differently I might have won the race, but this 2nd place only makes me more hungry. Tro Bro Leon was a really great classic style race that I’d love to do again.” – Will Routley (Can) Team SpiderTech Powered By C10

Quote From Lucas Euser – Best Sprinter, Best Climber
“Today was redemption for a challenging Spring campaign. We showed today that Team SpiderTech came to Europe as the new guys – but we came to learn and earn respect. Slowly we have building on those goals every race. Today we took those lessons learned and turned them into great teamwork and results. Being part of the breakaway gave me an advantage on the dirt roads and allowed the rest of the guys in the peloton to not have to do any work on the front. With 12 guys in front it made it hard for the teams chasing and giving our guys a smoother ride, although that’s a bit of pun on these roads! I targeted the mountains prize as something to focus on in the breakaway. The sprint prize came as a bonus and I got it from being active and the front of the break. I’m really proud of the way we road today. The team has earned a spot here in Europe.”

NEXT RACE: April 24-May 1 – UCI 2.HC Tour of Turkey (NED)
