Final 200m: “At the moment I started my sprint I heard a crash or someone hitting someone else behind me. I still didn’t really think of winning when I went. I was thinking maybe Cavendish or Viviani were on my wheel and they’d come out. But it was a really fast sprint, and it’s really hard to pass someone when you are doing 70 kph. I thought maybe one or two might come past, but luckily no one did.” | share this photo |

Your Stage 2 winner, Belgian Road Champ Jens Debusschere (Lotto Soudal). Milestone: “This win is really important to me. It’s the biggest win in my career. The Belgian Championship was big, but this is at a much higher level. And I’m always happy to win while wearing the jersey [of the Belgian champion]. It’s great to win a victory so early in the season, especially in a WorldTour race.” | share this photo |
