Baska wins Handzame Classic
Tinkoff rider beats Groenewegen in sprint
Erik Baska (Tinkoff) came from a long way back to beat Dylan Groenewegen in a bunch sprint at the Handzame Classic. Gianni Meersman (Etixx-QuickStep) found himself blocked in but did enough to take third place.
"I have to say a big thank you to my team and my sports directors for my chance for letting me be a leader for this race, and to my teammates for such an amazing job," a delighted Baska said after race. "My teammates brought me to 500 metres before the finish in about 10th position. I was behind some Etixx riders so I had a really good position for the sprint and I had really good legs."
