Victor Vercouillie Springs a Surprise on the VAM-berg

With five cobblestone sections and four laps on the final circuit at the VAM-berg, the stage in Drenthe proved to be a demanding challenge. It is all the more impressive, therefore, that the early breakaway managed to stay away. 23-year-old Vercouillie spent the entire day at the front, accompanied by his compatriots Ceriel Desal and Tars Poelvoorde, as well as Dutch riders Rick Ottema and Julian Vergouw. It is a fine reward for Vercouillie’s team, which is competing in its final race here at the Eneco Tour.
