Ruijter was immediately part of a seven-man leading group. In addition to Ruijter, in the first feed zone the group consisted of four more men: Aaron Wilhelmi (Germany), Urs Huber (Switzerland), Mathias Pedersen (Denmark) and Niclas Ranker (Germany). Wilhelmi thinned the group to three men by riding at a punishing pace in front, but had to pass when Huber attacked at the end of the second loop. Ruijter was briefly stuck behind Wilhelmi and then started chasing the Swiss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The gap to Urs was about thirty seconds entering the third and final loop. I kept seeing him but couldn&#8217;t close the gap. Of course I am more than satisfied with my second place, but if victory is within reach, you ultimately want to be on the highest step of the podium,&#8221; said Ruijter. Wilhelmi lost a lot of time in the last lap but managed to maintain his third place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Willingen, Germany, Teus Ruijter finished second on Saturday in the 120 kilometer mountainbike marathon through the Sauerland.
