La Vuelta Strong third, MTB world championships short track

A repeat of stage 2: 1.Groves, 2.van Aert & 3.Strong

 

"I didn't actually expect today to be a sprint as it was but Jumbo controlled it, and to have a man-on-man sprint against Wout is pretty awesome. I was quite okay in the wheels (on the climb). I thought it would be hard if they started attacking but thankfully Jumbo just rode a really hard pace and no one attacked. I think I did a really good sprint. It felt like a bit of a drag race against Wout but in the end it was good enough to beat him."

"George Bennett did a really good job in the final kilometers. Unfortunately, I lost a few positions in the run-in to the last corner, so I had to start my sprint from seventh or eight wheel. I would have had a much better chance of winning had I started my sprint on the wheel of van Aert or Groves. Hopefully, I can improve my positioning in the coming days and have another shot at it."
