"A time trial on the first day is always a bit tense, but I'm super happy with how it went. Of course, seven seconds is a big gap on a 10-kilometre distance. The legs have spoken and Zoe is the deserved winner. I gave everything and am happy with second place," said Nooijen.
"I'm really looking forward to that. The stages in this race are long, and I expect the wind to play a role. We came here with three good classification riders, so we'll see how it goes," Nooijen promised a three-pronged team strategy for the rest of the race that consists of mainly flat stages, some of which pose the danger of echelons.
