A classic ride
"I think it was pretty clear (MVDP was better today), he went on Kwaremont and went fast from the bottom already and, at one point, I just couldn't hold the wheel and he is just incredibly good. When he has a gap, he just keeps extending it, on Kwaremont, he made the difference and showed his class. We wanted to open up the race at Taaienberg and I talked with DS yesterday and they told me to try something there myself instead of following. It was nice to open up the race and we could go into a smaller group from there with Filippo also, all three of us wante to work all the the time and it was really nice. It was proper racing today so I am happy and ready for what's to come.
He has said he is not racing on Sunday but I have showed that even with him there at Gent-Wevelgem I can beat him, but that is a different race and there are also other riders, not just him, that are faster so now, it's onto the next, but this is a good start to the Classics campaign."
