It was already clear after stage 1. In the first stage to Sloten Byron took a lead of several minutes. He did exactly the same in the following stages, so today he had an easy day. The followers had to do the job. The battle for place two was still open. Eric and Xavier where just seconds behind each other in favor of Xavier. Eric:”Byron took it easy today. He let us go and just followed. I was battling for second with Xavier. I tried several times but Xavier kept following. At the end we crossed the finish line as a group.”
Anne Marie Reichman battled for victory with the American Donna Badome- Raaphorst. Donna won the last stage but Anne Marie won the event. Her own event. Anne Marie: “ A few years ago I thought it would be a nice trip to do the 11 cities. Last year I tried it myself and though if I can do it, more can do it. And see, 18 competitors have paddled the 220 kilometer around Friesland. Next year I want more contenders and hopefully I can still compete with them!”
