“It was difficult, especially since I fell last Saturday at the Castellon GP. However, I’m in good shape and I still love my job. Today the pace was fast right from the start. With Clement Izquierdo, who was riding on home turf and was very strong, and Alexis Renard, we were able to go for the sprint. Aiming for victory here was clearly the plan. I had never won here before and I’m very happy to add it to my list of victories.”

“Losing a couple of seconds every corner was not nice, but Mathieu was the strongest, se we don’t really have the feeling that we missed out on a title or anything. I think my season was good, but it can be better. It was solid. I have six wins, I renewed my Belgian title, and in some ways, I mad a good step forward.”
-Thibau Nys salvages bronze for Belgium.
“It’s a compliment being compared to Mathieu, but it’s a bit incomprehensible how good he is. I know how good he is, but I don’t start the race to get second. Every race is a new chance to see how long I can follow him. Hopefully one day I can make it to the last lap with him.”
-Tibor Del Grosso
“To now having the most titles of all time, it’s incredible. Maybe last weekend I felt a bit stronger (winning at Hoogerheide and Maasmechelen), this course was completely different.”
-Mathieu van der Poel
