TEAM SUNWEB'S ELLEN VAN DIJK TAKES OVERALL WIN AT HEALTHY AGEING TOUR
 

After a solid week-long performance at the Healthy Ageing Tour, Team Sunweb take the general classification win, points jersey, team classification win alongside four podium finishes. 


A strong first stage for the European Time Trial Champion landed Ellen van Dijk (NED) the yellow jersey and Team Sunweb fought hard to keep hold of the lead all week. The team were active at the front of the bunch each day injecting the pace and marking any potential general classification altering moves. An impressive display of team work and corporation from each rider saw van Dijk, and the team, ride to the overall victory. 

After the win, van Dijk said: "We are really happy to bring the yellow home. The team did an incredible job all week, everyone really sacrificed themselves for the jersey, it was unbelievable to see. It was also great to see our two young girls riding so well, this is their first stage race in the elite category and it was incredible to see them riding at the front all week. This jersey isn't mine, it belongs to the whole team."

Team Sunweb coach Adriaan Helmantel (NED) said: "We realised that today would be quite hard to control, so yesterday we made a few tactical decisions that made sure we were able to be in full control throughout today and go on to take the yellow jersey. These tactics payed off and I am really proud of the whole team. Overall it's been a great week of racing and everyone really showed their commitment and dedication to the team. After all of the work that Ellen has done all spring for other riders earlier in the season it's great that she is now able to get a reward from winning this stage race herself."
