Two out of two for Michael Vanthourenhout (Bingoal-Pauwels Sauzen). The former European Champion, already winner earlier this month in Dublin, won the 4th round of the X2O Bathrooms Trophy in Herentals. After a close duel, he managed to get ahead Pim Ronhaar (Baloise Trek Lions) thanks to an impressive final lap.
“Enjoy this victory”
“It’s always nice to win a race, but even more so when it’s hotly contested”he said in a post-race interview. “I think Pim and I were the strongest in the race. I had bet everything on the last lap, but I had to really go to the end, to the finish line. But when we 'required, it's always pleasant.'
After his victory in World Cup in Ireland, he thus signed his second consecutive success. Vanthouren wood seems in great shape. This Sunday, he will start the round of World Cup in Namur, as leader of the general classification. “First, I'm going to try to recover and enjoy this victory, because it's always wonderful to win. Tomorrow (Sunday) will definitely be special with the white jersey, so I'll really enjoy it.”
