"We believe that this team gives us the best chance in the hunt for stages. We couldn't be more excited for our first Grand Tour," says team owner Fabian Cancellara, expressing confidence in the riders selected for the team’s inaugural Grand Tour.
The 24-year-old, the main lead-out man for Tudor’s sprinters Alberto Dainese and Arvid de Kleijn, surprised everyone with an excellent performance on the course with 14 corners in 2.3 kilometers. The Dutchman needed 2.55 minutes, leaving Cameron Scott, Julian Alaphilippe, and all the other competition in his wake.
Sarrou said after the finish that he was really happy with his performances, both in Araxá and the first World Cup of the season, last week in Brazil. “I was consistent, and that I found most important during this trip to Brazil. In terms of qualification for Paris 2024, this was an important two weeks, and I am happy with how I performed."
