Flanders broadcast on TV2 and tv2sumo.no Sunday at. 12.
Alexander Kristoff has stolen the headlines in stage race Driedaagse de Panne, with two wins from two games so far.
However, he has been aided by another Norwegian – buddy Sven Erik Bystrøm.
Especially on the first leg was Bystrøm forefront, as one of six riders in the breach that ultimately went in. Also when it approached the sprint on stage two were 23-year-old clearly visible in the television route in an attempt to get Kristoff in a favorable position.
Now reports procycling.no that Bystrøm has been rewarded for his efforts. He has earned a place on Team Katusha team in Sunday’s TV 2 sent Flanders around.
– Sven Erik has done an incredibly strong race here and we are glad having him on the team. On Sunday, he drives his other Belgian WorldTour race and his first monument. He will give everything for the team, said sports director Torsten Schmidt procycling.no.
– For me it’s okay. It’s great to run Flanders, but it gets hard. I’ll try to do a good job for Alexander, then we’ll see, says Bystrøm even to the website before the closing day of the Belgian stage race.
In De Panne has Bystrøm had a role towards the end of races, this will be something different in Sunday’s classic.
– When driving one of “monuments” so it is a bit different and tougher than a normal WorldTour race. One should not have too high hopes that he distinguishes himself there, says Bystrom and Kristoffer trainer Stein Eagle TV 2.
– He’ll primarily be a help function in early race, but first and foremost we must use it as a development towards the classics where he will have good opportunities in the future.
Team Katusha and Norway seiershåp is obviously Alexander Kristoff.
North man is dependent on good means to reach there.
– Flanders is a very difficult race, and it comes down to how strong Alexander have been physically. It is a race that very rarely gets settled in a larger group, but if it gets there, he has a great opportunity, says Stein Eagle.
– If it becomes less groups then it becomes more a tactical game, and then it depends on how good he is physically. His physical level is good, whether it is good enough we’ll see on Sunday.
