"“This was not a good race for the team,” said sports manager Cees-Jan van der Zweep. “In races like this we don’t have the ability yet to make the difference, and we lost two riders already in the beginning. With only Amy who finished the race within the time limit, that is just not good enough. We know where we can improve, so we will work on that to do better in the future.”"
