Cycling: The Australian Rohan Dennis (BMC) won the 9,6 km long time trial of the ENECO Tour in Breda in the Netherlands. He was five seconds faster than local hero Jos Van Emden (LottoNL-Jumbo). The German Jasha Sütterlin from the Movistar team finished third, 14 seconds behind.
Peter Sagan disappointed - Jasha Sütterlin surprised
Rohan Dennis started the race as the 33rd starter, because yesterday he positioned himself further back in the first stage in the mass sprint. As a result, he already put the later winning time on the asphalt at around 1:14. The 12 drivers who followed then had a tough time, because no one could really endanger him. Not even Jos Van Emden, who is known as a good time trialist and wanted to give his compatriots a home win here. Jasha Sütterlin went into the race with significantly lower expectations, but the German convinced in the end with third place and only 143 seconds behind the top time trialist Dennis. This puts Jasha Sütterlin in fourth place in the overall standings with the same time difference, exactly one place behind World and European Champion Peter Sagan (Tinkoff). The Slovak, however, failed to live up to expectations and finished eighth, 14 seconds back. Marcel Kittel (Etixx-Quick Step) followed with the same time and only one place behind. Tomorrow we will continue in Belgium from Blankenberge to Ardooie. After 17 kilometers, a few slipways and two cobblestone passages, the next stage winner will be chosen.
