The Dutchman outsprints Pelucchi and Sinkeldam in York with Oltre XR.2
The wheel is turning for Team Lotto.NL-Jumbo in May. After Bert-Jan Lindeman's podium at Tour de Romandie's stage4, the Dutch team celebrated the first seasonal joy on Saturday May 2nd thanks to youngster Moreno Hofland, the fastest rider in Tour de Yorkshire's stage-2, 174 km from Selby to York (UK). Equipped with Oltre XR.2, Hofland outsprinted Italian Matteo Pelucchi and countryman Ramon Sinkeldam, breaking the season drought and bagging the 11th win of his young career. A much needed confidence boost for the Dutch Team, just one week ahead of the Giro d’Italia start: Hofland will be one of the main sprinting forces in the Pink race taking off in Sanremo on May 9th.
