PODIUM CLEAN SWEEP FOR TEAM DSM AT DWARS DOOR DE WESTHOEK

Continuing their strong recent run of form, Team DSM dominated Dwars door de Westhoek this afternoon, splitting things in the wind before riding a three-up team time trial to the line; completing the whole podium with Pfeiffer Gerogi, Léa Curinier and Charlotte Kool.

Rising to the pressure of being pre-race favourites, Team DSM controlled the early proceedings of the race and slowly but surely upped the tempo, ejecting riders from the back of the peloton on each lap. Through a section of crosswinds, the team managed to place five riders in a front group of around 20, before pushing things on once more. With a whopping 50 kilometres to go Curinier, Georgi and Kool broke clear and began their team time trial. Riding superbly as a unit, and with Esmée Peperkamp hampering and demoralising the chase efforts behind, the trio would build on their lead throughout the remainder of the race and go on to take a superb win and an even more remarkable and impressive podium clean sweep for Team DSM.
