“This Ghent-Wevelgem was pretty different compared to the previous editions. It was probably the first time I raced in such a windy conditions with echelons from the beginning of the race. It was quite hard, but I could appreciate it. The Belgian classics are so atypical, when the peloton exploded my Bryton showed that we still had 120 kilometer with many difficulties to race. Just like in our previous races like Milano-Sanremo and the E3 Classic we showed our collective strength. With such a strong group I am convinced that our best days are yet to come. Personally, I am focused on Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday and the Tour of Flanders on Sunday, two prestigious races in which I want to benefit from my good shape.”
