Jeroen Boelen wins Crocodile Trophy

11/2/11

Jeroen Boelen confirms his supremacy and is the second Dutch Crocodile Trophy overall winner.

He won five of the ten stages, he worked were needed and made himself popular with riders and race staff alike. There’s no doubt that the 33-year-old rider deserves to be the overall winner of the 17th Crocodile Trophy.

After 1200 kilometers across the rainforests and outback of North Queensland he finished with almost an hour’s lead of Austrians Wofgang Krenn and Josef Benedseder. Jeroen Boelen (Milka-Trek) is a successful former road rider and his mountain bike career has now just begun. Earlier this year he finished, with Bart Brentjens, 7th in the Cape Epic.
