ZLM Tour- 1.5Westhavendijk, Netherlands, May 13, 2000
Belgian surpriseIn a sprint in the streets of Goes, the unknown Belgian cyclist Wesley Vanspeybroeck surprised AXA sprinter John den Braber. "I expected Spar-riders or Wilco Zuijderwijk, but no Vanspeybroeck. Honestly, I've never heard about him before," said Den Braber. "Until 300 meters before the finish line, AXA controlled the race. I had a perfect jump, but Vanspeybroeck was stronger than me." The ZLM-Tour was a very 'flat' race because there was no wind. In the last kilometers the race started. Roger Hammond [Collstrop] attacked with John Talen, but the Flanders team brought the peloton back, so Spar and AXA could prepare for the final sprint. Results - 200 kms1.
