\u201cThe boys rode a really strong race today,\u201d says sports director Arthur van Dongen with a smile. \u201cWe were involved at the front from the very beginning, which meant we had three riders in the front echelon. Owain, Niklas and Loe gave it everything, but it\u2019s a shame we just missed out on the podium, because we certainly deserved it. I\u2019m proud of the way this young team showed themselves today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomorrow\u2019s stage will be the longest of the day, covering more than 210 kilometres. \u201cWe\u2019ve already had three tough days, and with another long stage ahead, it could well be one for the breakaway. We want to show ourselves again tomorrow and hopefully be in contention for the win once more,\u201d Van Dongen concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe boys rode a really strong race today,\u201d says sports director Arthur van Dongen with a smile. \u201cWe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,306493,82,306492],"class_list":["post-883239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-resulting-in-top-finishes-for-loe-van-belle-and-niklas-behrens-max-walscheid-proved-the-strongest-in-the-sprint","tag-sports","tag-team-visma-lease-a-bike-showed-their-strength-in-the-third-stage-of-the-zlm-tour-the-dutch-team-was-strongly-represented-in-the-front-echelon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
