Belgian victory a sign of things to come, says Georgi's DSM sports director

hen Pfeiffer Georgi attacked with seven kilometres to go in last week's Brugge-De Panne, her DSM sports director knew the British rider’s first WorldTour victory wasn’t far away.

“First it was five seconds, then it was 18-19 seconds and I could see the way Megan [Jastrab] defended Pfeiffer’s attack, and I thought, ‘Okay, this will work,’” Albert Timmer told CW.

“The work she puts in for the others is really impressive, but I think in De Panne everything came together and she actually won, I think you can say that’s her best performance. We saw the Pfeiffer we will see in the coming years.”
