Olav Kooij wins ZLM Tour
Jumbo-Visma riders wins finale stage 5 in Rijsbergen

Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) won the final stage 5 and the final classification of the ZLM Tour on Sunday. Kooij won the bunch sprint ahead of Alexander Salby (Riwal Cycling Team) and Sam Welsford (Team DSM) in Rijsbergen.
Kooij had already won the opening two stages, and with his third on stage 5 he also secured the general classification victory, points classification and the youth classification.
"It was a successful week," Kooij said. "We knew the final victory was up for grabs if nothing crazy happened. With the stage win, we were able to put the icing on the cake. It is great to win all the classifications. We don't race in our own country that often; to have a week like this is wonderful."
