“Heartbroken” was the word Charlotte Kool used to convey her reactions to pulling out of the Team dsm-firmenich PostNL start list for this week’s UAE Tour Women. The team confirmed that Kool would not take part in the Women’s WorldTour stage race due to illness.
The Dutch sprinter said she was looking forward to showing her “winter improvements” on repeat appearance at the UAE Tour Women, where last year at the inaugural event she won two stages and came away with the points classification title.
