Vitamine C is een wateroplosbare vitamine die essentieel is voor sporters. Het is misschien wel de meest bekende vitamine als het gaat om de ondersteuning van je weerstand. Daarnaast zorgt het er voor dat ons lichaam non-heemijzer (รฉรฉn van de twee ijzervormen in je voedsel) beter opneemt. ![]()

Wist je dat er in de zaadjes van rozenbottel maar liefst 30 keer zoveel vitamine C zit als in een sinaasappel? Daarom hebben wij deze natuurlijke vitaminebommetjes toegevoegd aan ons Vitamine C supplement. ![]()

Ruud Bokhout, General Manager Europe โWe are happy to extend the cooperation and continue to support the team with our products. The feedback from the riders and mechanics helps us to make our products even better.โ![]()

SunRace originated in Taiwan in 1972, initially providing entry-level products particularly to North and South America. The boom in sales of mountain bikes resulted in rapid expansion. Twenty-five years later, it had become clear that further growth would only result from higher level components and so commenced the process of taking the product range up-market.![]()
![]()
That procedure accelerated after internal hub gear supplier Sturmey-Archer was purchased in 2000. Sturmey-Archer was first established in England in 1902 when they invented the 3-speed internal gear hub. The purchase of Sturmey-Archer meant that SunRace now had a strong foothold in Europe with their sales and distribution company in the Netherlands. Supplying the European market demanded even higher level specifications resulting in large investments in engineering and Research and Development.![]()
![]()
SunRace products are now specified by the worldโs leading bicycle manufacturers and are also used extensively in the aftermarket. Alongside the catalogue range, SunRace have also always used their R&D expertise in co-operation with OEM, to create customised product. That broad range has helped Sunrace to become a major player in the bike industry world-wide.

In his last year as a junior, Bram showed some good results such as a 6th place in Kuurne Juniors (UCI 1.1), 3rd in Mazenzele - Opwijk and 8th in the U19 National Championship Time Trial.![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Renรฉ Kos, coach: "What makes Bram interesting is the fact that in his junior years he only did what he liked best: riding his bike, without a power meter, without a trainer. That's why we invited him for an performance test with our partner Cyclinglab, where he showed his potential through a good test. With the right coaching and a good competition program, we can help Bram to take the next step in his career."

๐ RACE REPORT: Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia stage 4, Dutch weather doesn't make it better.![]()
![]()
After three days of sunshine, the weather changed completely on Sunday, resulting in a Dutch weather picture: cold and rain. It made the organizers decide to shorten the fourth and last stage from Percoto to Martignacco by more than 30.00 kilometers. What remained was a ride of 142.00 kilometers with six third category climbs along the way.![]()
![]()
At the end of the first hour, seven riders managed to escape, after which another 16 riders with our Jelte Krijnsen managed to make the connection. However, the difference with the peloton never increased further than 1'10 "and a little after halfway the race we get a compact peloton again, of which not much is left.![]()
![]()
For a long time it seems that we are going to sprint for victory with the remnants of the group containing Jelte, Jordan, Victor Broex and Luuk van Gestel, but in the final two riders managed to escape and finish with a lead of 44 seconds. Daan Hoeks has a bad day, he is the last rider of the day to cross the finishline - more than 15 minutes after the winner.![]()
![]()
In the GC, three of our riders made it into the top-30. In the U21 GC enough for a 4th, 5th and 6th place.![]()
![]()
Among some of the strongest development teams, we manage to finish 7th in the teams classification. A solid week for our boys and a great way to close the 2020 season!
๐ RACE REPORT: Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia stage 3, dominion of the vikings in Venice.![]()

According to Wikipedia, there is little evidence for Viking activity in Italy as a precursor to the arrival of the Normans in 999. It seems that 1021 years later, they are back for a raid..![]()

Andreas Leknessund of Uno-X Pro Cycling Team (next year riding for Team Sunweb) won the third stage of Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, from San Vito al Tagliamento to Buja, over 148,50 kilometers. ![]()
![]()
The way he did that, a solo of 43 kilometers, underlines the dominance of the Norwegians - the only UCI ProTeam at the start of this race. They won the team time trial, controlled the entire second stage, which they actually won (were it not for the fact that a non-English-speaking Polish rider of CCC Development Team managed to push his wheel 0.003mm in front of a rider of (yeah, guess what..) Uno-X.![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Luuk van Gestel: "The first hour went very quickly with an average of 50 km per hour. Victor dropped us off perfectly at the foot of the first climb, from there it was full throttle to the finish. The three of us were in a group that rode for 29th place. We may be satisfied with the result, with 1 stage to go we are still 8th, 9th, 10th and 13th in the general youth classification for U21 riders."![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Renรฉ Kos, sports director: "The boys drove according to plan today. Victor did a perfect job up to the mountain zone and then stayed in a group of about 30 riders until the finish. At the foot of the second climb, there was a crash that caused Jordan to get off the bike shortly and just missed the connection with Daan, Jelte and Luuk. In the end, luckily, he doesn't lose too much time on the others. I am very satisfied, the level of the race is very high and we must not forget that we are the youngest team at the start with five U21 riders."![]()
![]()
We are curious which team will win the fourth and last stage. Want to take a gamble...?
๐ RACE REPORT: Damage control in second stage 56th Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia.![]()
![]()
On paper it was the easiest day of this edition, three laps on a course with two short climbs, which was doomed to end in a peloton sprint. It seemed like this for a long time, when five riders managed to escape in the first lap and Uno-X Pro Cycling Team took responsibility to lead the peloton.![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Jordan Habets: "In the nervous last lap, we got involved in a big crash that split the bunch. We were able to continue the stage without big problems and rejoined the first group at the foot of the climb. On the climb, the 21 leaders took off and unfortunately we never saw them back."![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Renรฉ Kos, sports director: "Our boys were involved in a crash that happened about 30km before the finish. When they rejoined with the first group, the 21 leaders had already left. Victor was the last to get back on the bike and finished in a group behind the peloton. The boys rode well today, so it's a pity they lost time today and a missed opportunity to go for a sprint with Victor."![]()
