๐ Yesterday we called our Zappi's Daan Hoeks and Jelte Krijnsen about their experiences in the first week of the Giro d'Italia U23;![]()
![]()
How different is the Giro from other races?![]()
D: It's not just a race, it's more of a driving festival, everything is bigger, faster and better organized than a regular race. The competition level is even higher, you feel that we are here competing with the best U23s in the world.![]()
![]()
The first three stages were held around Zappi Racing Team's home base in Cesenatico, your training area in recent weeks, how were those first days?![]()
D: I had marked the first day as a day with a chance of a good result, the day started slowly and there was a leading group that unfortunately made it to the finish.![]()
J: The first days were very warm, I had a very hard time with that and unfortunately I unnecessary lost a lot of time.![]()
![]()
The fourth stage was the individual time trial, Daan you finished 28th, did you surprise yourself?![]()
D: I don't really have much experience as a time trialist, I just started fast and wanted to see how far I could get with that. A top-30 is simply an excellent result, perhaps a bit surprising indeed.![]()
![]()
In the fifth and sixth stage, the peloton moved into the Apennines and something else changed: it rained.![]()
J: As the heat gave way to cooler temperatures and rain, despite losing more than eight minutes in the fifth stage, I finally felt better. I love Italy, but I'm still a Dutchman..![]()
![]()
Today the queen stage in the Giro is on the program, a stage of 120 kilometers with no less than 3100hm and the finish in Lago di Campo Moro.![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Join us in wishing Daan and Jelte all the best for the last three stages!
๐ Habets fifth in Trofeo Alcide de Gasperi, as early breakaway makes it to the finish.![]()
![]()
The Trofeo Alcide Degasperi, a UCI 1.2 race for Elite and U23, has been running since 1955 between Bassano del Grappa and Trentino, one year in this direction and one year the opposite direction. ![]()
![]()
At the start none other than Davide Rebellin, who turns 50 this year and has managed to postpone his cycling pension for another year (Alejandro, eat your heart out). Funny fact is that Rebellin won the race in 1992, the year not one of our riders was born yet.![]()
![]()
Early in the race, a large breakaway of 21 riders emerged, with Jordan Habets representing the Academy. Although the maximum lead of the breakaway never exceeded 2'45", a reduced number of escapees would make it to the finish.![]()
![]()
๐ฃ Arthur van Dam, sports director: โWe can look back on a very strong race in which Jordan took a fifth place, the price of the most aggressive rider and three GPM sprints. Let's also not forget the achievement of Bram Leerkes, who managed to finish in a respectable 60th place in his first UCI race among the U23s. I am pleased to see that we have taken a step up as a team and we look forward with confidence to the National Road and TT Championships that will be held in two weeks.โ![]()

The Lisse frame, as to be seen in the pictures, has a striking look that manages to be different enough to other aero frame designs, with very pronounced dropped seat stays which flow out into long, narrow stays. The stem is a bespoke KTM part and is also different from any other bike design.![]()
