With a little over a fortnight to go in the International Cycling Union's (UCI) European Continental Tour, Dutchman Kenny van Hummel remains the leader of the series. The Skil-Shimano rider, whose season was disrupted by injury after a crash at the Tour de France, is hopeful that he can maintain his advantage in the final races of the season.
