Heij too confident

Dennis Heij (3rd) was at least the loser in stage 4 of the Olympia's Tour. In the last lap the three leaders (Heij, Paul Manning and Corey Sweet) had enough time to make Dennis Heij the new leader. An attack by Manning - with Sweet on his wheel - wasn't important for Heij. He didn't want stage-victories, as the overall classification was more important to him.

However, his teammanager, Arthur van Dongen, in the following car made a mistake. He forgot to look to the classifications list, so he didn't know that Corey Sweet (yes the younger brother of Jay) was near the top of the GC too. The new leader: Corey Sweet.

Heij: "Stupid. I should have known he was up there in the classification too...But, now I need the individual time trial on Friday to take over the lead!"

Sweet has only one teammate left in his Hohenfelder-Concorde team, so Heij thinks he can reduce the 17 seconds.

In this, the Queen-stage of the Olympia's Tour, there was one big fall as well. A car came onto the parcours and hit some riders, including Wim van de Meulenhof and Oliver Penney. Penney went to hospital after this stage for a check-up.
