In the second stage of the Volta Ao Algarve, Vacansoleil-DCM sprinter Kris Boeckmans was close to victory!
The Belgian sprinter unfortunately faced a stronger Boasson Hagen and finished second. After a year of injury in 2011, Boeckmans sprinted twice to the podium this year. The team is confident to see Kris more in bunch sprints this season, explains Sports Director Hilaire Van Der Schueren.
In the last 20 kilometres of the stage Thomas De Gendt escaped with Christophe Riblon, but they were caught five kilometres before the finish. Johnny Hoogerland then brought Boeckmans in the right place for the sprint.
