Team Jumbo-Visma (Belgium) - Press Release: Pascal Eenkhoorn has taken his first victory of the season. After an attractive edition of the Heistse Pijl, Eenkhoorn proved to be the strongest of a front group of three at the finish.

Dylan Groenewegen had predicted a beautiful race. “These are often cool races. I expect an open race.” Groenewegen’s words turned out to be true. After a first breakaway of five riders had escaped from the peloton, a group of about twenty riders moved into action. Eenkhoorn was part of this group on behalf of Team Jumbo-Visma and was joined shortly afterwards by Dutch champion Timo Roosen.

When it became clear that the group containing Eenkhoorn and Roosen would battle for the win, Eenkhoorn went on the attack. Together with the Belgians Yves Lampert and Jonas Rickaert the Dutchman rode to a comfortable lead. In the last few hundred metres, Eenkhoorn turned out to be the fastest of the three. After Eenkhoorn’s triumph, Team Jumbo-Visma’s victory tally now stands at twenty-seven this season.
