On Wednesday the 5th of June the first ever Hellingproof club championships took place at the track of AXA Veenendaal. We kicked off with the women’s race. The first few laps the bunch stayed together although there were several attacks. However, after some time Anouk thought it was time to attack and she never saw the bunch again and took the win! The rest of the peloton sprinted for the other podium spots. Vera took the second place and Sonja sprinted to the third place.
The non-licence and licence men raced together during the club championships. The race kicked off with a high pace instantly. That’s why the peloton was already ripped apart after a few laps. During the race lots of attacks took place, Jetze accounted for more than half of them. But the attacks didn’t result in anything. However at the end of the race a small group managed to escape what was left of the peloton. This group sprinted for the win and this resulted in Bram sprinting to the first place with a few lengths and Harmen sprinted to the second place just before Jetze.
Afterwards, the ceremony took place in Café Loburg while we enjoyed some well-deserved drinks.
