“It’s a shame Nils says he’s going to stop skating”

HAMAR – When Patrick Roest was on the podium in Hamar on Sunday afternoon, he turned to his rival Nils van der Poel. “I have heard that Swedish national anthem very often now,” said the Jumbo-Visma driver, laughing like a farmer with a toothache. Because yes, he was very disappointed that he also had to settle for silver at the World Allround Championships. Roest: “The goals I set this year were higher. This hurts.”
