Bol was then part of the sprint train that helped the riders to the record. Cavendish has now retired from cycling and that offers opportunities for the North Hollander. “I now have a completely different program. Last year I had a program that served Cavendish and the Tour. This year I am focusing on the semi-classics (including Nokere Koerse, GP Denain). For me, these are more important races. then the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. I am at a point in my career where I will not win the Tour of Flanders anytime soon,” said Bol,
Furthermore, Bol will also ride a Grand Tour this year. The rider hinted that there is a good chance that this will be the Tour de France.
