Young sprinter from Longueuil, QC is having a dream season in Europe
Team SpiderTech powered by C10 took part in the 100th edition of the famous Scheldeprijs cycling race in Belgium, a race part of the popular Flanders’ Classics, and sprinter Guillaume Boivin posted another stellar results in what is becoming a dream season for the young rider.
Boivin took 10th place in the race, which ended in a bunch sprint after just over 200 kilometres of racing in wet and cold rainy conditions, which caused many crashes in the last hour of racing, including one in the final stretch of the race.
“I felt really good today. I felt like I was able to hold position well and I made all the splits in the hectic final. My team did great to get me in position, but I had to freelance the last bit. I got a bit boxed in, the sprint lead outs were a bit slow because of the rain and it made for a messy finish. I'm really looking forward to me next races,” said Boivin after the race.
Teammate Simon Lambert-Lemay of St. Ours, QC played a critical role in Boivin’s success, joining a breakaway that lasted for the majority of the race, relieving the pressure on Team SpiderTech to better execute the final sprint.
Boivin is having a remarkable season, posting strong and consistent results week after week. So far this spring season, Boivin is showing seven Top 12 results, including three podiums.
German rider Marcel Kittel with the Argentinean team Argos-Shimano won the sprint, crossing the finish line posting a time of 4:30:53. American sprinter Tyler Ferrar of Team Garmin-Barracuda finished second, followed by Team Rabobank rider Theo Bos of the Netherlands in third place.
Team SpiderTech goes right back on the saddle tomorrow, with the team taking part in the Grand Prix Pino Cerami, still in Belgium.
