“We delivered a great team performance, so this podium spot is well-deserved,” Veenhoven said afterwards. “I quietly had my sights set on a strong result today, and it’s always special when it actually comes together. After Marianne’s crash, we had to quickly change our plan, but my teammates brought me forward at just the right moment. I had to launch my sprint early, but I was closing in fast. There’s no shame in finishing behind Lorena and Charlotte – they’re among the fastest sprinters in the world. I’m really pleased to have shown myself again here.”
