Team DSM (France) - Press Release: Team DSM spectacularly opened their winning account for the 2021 season, with Cees Bol producing a dominant sprint victory on stage 2 of Paris-Nice.

On a day fret with crosswind danger, the team remained calm throughout the stage, always alert for any possible danger before turning their attention and focus on the sprint. Arriving with a plan and peeling off one-by-one in the finale, through the twisting and technical run in to the line, the team always ensured Bol was in the perfect position. Opening up his sprint at the perfect moment, Bol powered across the line in a dominant manner, raising his arms aloft victorious, after a brilliant performance from the team.

Racing resumed at Paris-Nice today as the peloton headed south, with a mostly flat 188 kilometres from Oinville-sur-Montcient to Amilly on the menu. It was a tentative start to the stage before a breakaway duo attacked and broke clear, gaining a maximum of over five minutes. Things were controlled in the bunch and the gap to the breakaway began to fall before it soon tumbled with 90 kilometres to go as the race reached a crosswind section.
