"I was second, only to the best rider in the world at the moment, so it was a pretty good day, I think. His team rode pretty hard straight from the gun. They didn't give the break any leash, so honestly it was trying to stay in the first 30 or 40 guys for the whole day. It was just a whittling process. And then with about 100 kilometers to go, it pressed on over a climb, and the elastic which had been going all day snapped, and I went with the group. I played the card and sat on the back, because we had Neilson behind. As we started racing, guys got dropped, and it turned out I was one of the strongest."
-Ben Healy had already won the GP Industria & Artigianato and a stage of Coppin e Bartali this season. He was second Wednesday at Brabantse Pijl.
