It’s not every day that a GB rider wins a Netherlands amateur classic; but that’s exactly what 19 year-old Welshman Luke Rowe did recently in De ‘arjaan De Schipper Trofee’ — to give it the full Dutch treatment – a race won by a certain Fabian Cancellara, a few years ago.
We caught up with Luke – who already has a 2008 European junior road championship silver medal to his name – whilst he was back in his native Wales for a few days. The call had to carefully timed, so as not to clash with a trip to the pictures!
