“Next Sunday I will start with teammate Roel Verhoeven in the Austrian village Nauders in the Transalp. In this race we finished fifth two years ago and we aim to improve this position this year. Two weeks ago I already raced in the same area with the Hero Dolomites marathon. In a strong international starting field, I finished fifteenth there, so I will travel to Austria on Friday with great confidence.’, says Smeenge.
