Aernouts opens account in Harderwijk
Solo effort pays off for Belgian
Rabobank's Bart Aernouts took his first victory of the season in the C2 Openingsveldrit van Harderwijk on Saturday by soloing away from the field on the second lap. He maintained a large advantage over an exciting battle for second, which was won by Eddy van IJzedoorn (AA Drink-Be One) over Jan Verstraeten.
"It is difficult to create a gap on such a fast course, but if you succeed the others will look at each other. That played into my favour. Fortunately I had the legs to get a fast start, but I had to maintain that for eight laps," said Aernouts.
