“After missing out on a good result in the first sprint of the season on my birthday yesterday, I’m thrilled with second place today. Things got tough on the third time up Menglers Hill - I got dropped with the other sprinters, but we managed to chase back and to rejoin the peloton with 10 kilometer to go without spending too much energy. I felt fresher than the previous day and my teammates Dion Smith and Dries De Pooter delivered a perfect lead out. This World Tour podium boosts my confidence, I’m eager for the next opportunity.”
