Dutchman maintains history-making 100% record in raceEquals Edvald Boasson Hagen’s feat of four stage wins in row
The Dutchman Olav Kooij maintained his history-making 100% record in the Tour of Britain with an explosive sprint finish to win stage four in Newark-on-Trent. It meant Kooij equalled Edvald Boasson Hagen’s record of four consecutive Tour of Britain stage victories in 2009, though the Dutchman is the first rider to stay perfect from the start over four stages.
Kooij was thankful to his Jumbo-Visma teammates for another expertly executed lead-out as rival teams jostled for position.
