Puck Pieterse (Fenix - Premier Tech): “This climb is all about being well-positioned at the bottom and going all out. When you start the Mur, you know it’s the most painful four minutes of the year. For sure it doesn’t look pretty, especially the last bit, when you start sprinting!” “I had to follow my own pace, I didn’t want to stand still at the middle of the ascent. When I started my sprint, at first I was hesitant and I came close, so I thought maybe there’s something possible… But Demi [Vollering] was just a bit faster. I pushed to the max today on the Mur, so I can only take a good feeling with me to Sunday.”
