A Look back at the Tour of the Basque Country
Wow. What a race that was for me. When I surprisingly won the opening time trial, I knew that I had good legs. I would never have dreamed that I would end up winning three stages. Of course I wanted to try it ever day, especially because the stages were good for me. And I also knew that I had a strong team behind me.
Thanks to my team
I have to thank my teammates another time for their support. They worked super hard the whole day and I had the legs to finalize it with another victory. So happy to deliver this one to the team.
My first Time Trial pro win
Speechless about today. My first Time Trial pro win. Achieved on that race course. To be honest... I thought I wouldn't have a chance on this difficult race course. A climb with a gradient up to 23% and the last kilometer 16% in average is to hard... That's what I thought. So even happier about today.
Strong week at the Volta a Catalunya
Today the 99th Volta a Catalunya ended with its traditional last stage in Barcelona. To sum up this race, I would say it went pretty well. A stage win, a second, third and also a fourth place all achieved in a different way on each stage. That makes me confident for the coming races! Now it is time to take it easy and recover from this week.
Good start and young rider jersey in Catalunya
This week I am underway in Spain in the Volta a Catalunya. On the opening stage I could bring in a good second place. When it was obvious that Thomas de Gendt would win and the field lost its momentum, I went for my luck in a solo break and in the end could save a small advantage over the on-charging field.
