Riding Bianchi Oltre XR.2, the 22-year-old sprinter from Amsterdam won the bunch sprint ahead of French Nacer Bouhanni. Russian Alexander Porsev rounded out the podium.

Born in the summer solstice day, Groenewegen is one of Team Lotto.NL-Jumbo 2016 season’s promising newcomers. Last year he managed to claim the Arnhem-Veenendaal Classic and the Brussels Cycling Classic, whilst in 2014 he had topped Tour de Normandie’s stage-2 and U23 Ronde Van Vlaanderen. After a few racing days, the feeling between Groenewegen and his new Bianchi Oltre XR.2 quickly yielded a good result, paving the way to a successful sprinting season for LottoNL-Jumbo.
OLTRE XR.2
Bianchi Oltre XR.2 is an extreme racing bike, perfectly combining lightness, aerodynamic and stiffness. Bianchi also supplies Team LottoNL-Jumbo with three more models: Specialissima, Infinito CV and TT Aquila CV bikes.
