Amandine Fouquenet
Lucind Brand dominated the fast and frozen course in Gavere claiming her 10th win in a row. Amandine Fouquenet proved that her win at the Heusden-Zolder Superprestige race a few days ago was no fluke as she made a major step up this year. The Frenchwoman was a threat and held onto a fine second place with Puck Pieterse in third.

“I just didn’t want to have any regrets after the race. I just did my own thing and I felt immediately that Mathieu was not giving in and he was still quite comfortable. I did what I had to and I’m happy with second place. The lap Mathieu went all in., I unclipped my pedal two times which cost me some momentum. Anyway, I don’t think I could have followed Mathieu.”

“Thibau was really strong today and also technically, he was riding impressive. After we made the gap, I decided to go for one lap and set a fast pace and see if I could get away. I didn’t think it was possible to drop him but I saw he made a mistake in the wheel and I had the gap.”
-Mathieu van der Poel
