Assen Tour 2014 – First Set of Results In
A number of our Slipstreamers are currently on tour in Holland at the week long European Youth Tour Assen 2014 (if you’re not sure what this is all about, read more on the tour website here). The 6 day stage race runs from 26th July to 3rd August, with each day having a different type of race, varying in length for the different age groups.
As it happens, so far our members are doing brilliantly – just look at the table of results below from 4 days of racing! Starting on Monday with a prologue, followed by a team ride with parents and children, Slipstreamers achieved some pretty decent standings in their respective age groups (highlighted in the table, in case you were wondering about the colour coding!). On Tuesday, the criterium race was held, where Slipstreamers Jed and Joe took first and second place, respectively, in their age group. Well done boys!
On Wednesday, the classic road race took place through the streets, and Thursday saw a more traditional omloop with cobbles. There is still more to come on Friday with a Criterium race and an individual time trial on Saturday, but do take a peek at the list of fantastic Slipstreamers’ results so far:
Day 1 Prologue | Day 2 Criterium | Day 3 Classic Road Race | Day 4 Omloop Cobbles | |
Sam Gilbert | 7th | 10th | 9th | 9th |
Stanley Kent | 12th | 8th | 5th | 7th |
Bobbie O’Brien | 13th | 17th | 16th | 16th |
