OUR ATHLETE'S TAKE
“This was a race I really wanted to win and it stings a little to come so so close, but fall short. But don’t worry, I’ll be back next year and looking for redemption."
- Michael van den Ham
"The team finally put it all together on one day and between MVDH narrowly missing the jersey and the rest of the squad getting top 10s it was excellent. I personally had the best race of my career to date and ruined the teams streak finishing in 11th."
- Dylan Postier
