“After one month without competition, my goal for this Tour de Romandie was to build competition rhythm towards an important month in May. With the bad weather conditions during this last stage today, I wanted to avoid taking risks. But I had good legs and managed to find the right slipstream in the last hectometers. I managed to achieve third place behind the untouchable Dorian Godon, who won his second stage. It is nice to end this tough week of racing with a first podium in two years. I appreciate giving my all for my teammates, but it is also satisfying to confirm that you are capable of achieving results yourself as well. This World Tour podium is excellent for my confidence before my next important race days, on which I hope to help our sprinters to victories on similar terrain.”
