LottoNL-Jumbo‘s Jos van Emden set the fastest time against the clock, during today’s stage 4 of the Enenco Tour.
The Dutch rider clocked a time of 16:34 along today’s 13.9 kilometer course, to beat his teammate and fellow Dutchman Wilco Kelderman by five seconds.
Meanwhile, previous race leader, Jesper Asselman, didn’t even make it into the top 40 finishers today, and therefore, was forced to relinquished his leader’s jersey to van Emden.
Adriano Malori (Movistar) rounded out the podium in third place, at 5 seconds back, while Lars Boom (Astana) finished in fourth.
“It’s very important. Victory is always important, especially for the team, because we don’t have so many victories yet this year,” Van Emden said. “But the time trials are going well for the team recently and I think I deserved this win.”
