‘I just want the legs of Tadej, just one time’ – Nils Politt co-leads UAE Team Emirates at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad

Whenever German all-rounder Nils Politt indulges in one of his favourite non-cycling hobbies – fishing – he regularly catches rainbow trout. It turns out this variety can vary widely in size, from half a kilo to five times that weight. 

“The last one I caught was quite small, but it tasted pretty good,” he told Cyclingnews over the winter.
