Promising week in Healthy Ageing Tour

10-04-2019: Wielrennen: Healthy Aeging Tour: Borkum

After five days of racing, the Healthy Ageing Tour came to an end on Sunday. A sixth place for Lucy Garner in the second stage and a fifth place for Lonneke Uneken a day later, were the best results for the team. But it is not only the results that count. “The whole week we were riding very well as a team”, Lonneke concluded. She was racing her home race in the north of Holland.

Uneken finished eighth in the last stage and with that she ended five days of racing on the roads she knows quite well. “I am happy with my racing this week. It gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season. I had a great week and enjoyed racing in my own region.”

That she was able to take an fifth and eighth place was also a positive thing for Lonneke. “I didn’t expect to be able to fight in the front of a bunch sprint yet, but I think the whole team rode the way we wanted this week. Of course there are some things to work on, but there are a lot of races to come this season, so we have time for that.”
