A surprising winner in the Criterium Day after the Boxmeer Round. It was not Tom Dumoulin, Dylan Groenewegen or Steven Kruijswijk who were the first to win the competition, but Bram Tankink (LottoNL-Jumbo Team) won the title in his year of farewell. Peter Sagan applauds in the Belgian city of Aalst.

In an elegant Boxmeer, the women's competition took place on Monday. Anna van der Breggen was shown the strongest, in the absence of Annemiek van Vleuten. In the evening, the race for men took place. With Wout Poels, Bauke Mollema, Laurens ten Dam, Koen de Kort and Antwan Tolhoek, the number of participants in the Tour was eight. The Tankink, 39, crossed the line a few meters before Dumoulin. Mollema finished in third place. Tankink is the successor of Groenewegen, who won the race in the village of Brabant last year.

Hundreds of fans stood up in the locker room at Aalst. Among others, Mathieu van der Poel, Thomas De Gendt and Yves Lampaert were in this criterion. In a sprint a-two Sagan was faster than Lampaert. This is the third time the 28 year old sprinter wins at Aalst. The winner of the green jersey has had a difficult last few days in France after a fall. However, the driver of Bora-Hansgrohe takes no rest. "I see these competitions as moments of rest, it's not really the full price," says Sagan against Standard. The European Championships in Glasgow (August 12) are the next goal of Slovak.
