In the interesting part of the Binck Bank Tour we did pretty well, although we had hoped for a podium place somewhere. In the stage to Vogelwaarde Arjen Rutte was 5th. He lost to Zatarra's Konrad Magnussen, which was disappointing, but in fact nice to see Zatarra scoring his second win.
In stage 5 to Rotterdam it appeared that our cobblers did not really have a chance to be in front, Arjen Rutte finished 26th and Julius Maalderink 28th.
In the GC Arjen Rutte finishes 16th, which is encouraging. Winner was EuskaPiero Marcello Peron.
