⚡️ Team dsm-firmenich PostNL take superb sprint win with Charlotte Kool at Baloise Ladies Tour

Building on promising results and podium places in the opening days, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL nailed the lead-out at Baloise Ladies Tour on Friday afternoon, sprinting to a superb stage win with Charlotte Kool.

A relatively calm day through the Belgian countryside saw a few breakaway groups come and go, but the peloton was always in control. Team dsm-firmenich PostNL grouped up well throughout the afternoon, helping to set the pace in the bunch but also conserving energy and keeping each other safe; all with a view of setting up Kool for the finale. Coming into the final five kilometres the breakaway was caught and those in the orange-stripes moved up well on the left-side of the road. Beginning to up the pace as the flamme rouge approached, the team stretched the bunch out and ensured that Kool was out of any danger or mishaps. With last lead-out lighting things up, she delivered Kool around the last bend inside 200 metres to go and from there Kool kicked on the pedals, putting her head down and powering to a fantastic win with Team dsm-firmeinch PostNL’s Women’s program.
