“The team did a good job all day. And I am happy for the entire team that I was able to finish it off”, Groenewegen said. “In the technical final it was tough to hold positions and it was difficult to stay together as a team. We already had to do a sprint before the last corner. I was a bit boxed in, but my teammates solved that issue very well. I am happy that I have been able to reward them. This victory feels very good, because I have defeated some of the best sprinters here.”

“I’m sorry because I wanted to win” Gaviria said. “The sprint was complicated with a few curves and narrow roads. At seven kilometres from the finish, there was a crash that caused us to lose Bohli and we used energy to return to the front part of the group.

In the final, Ferrari worked amazing well to take me into position for the last kilometre. Then I did my sprint, but Groenewegen was on my wheel and was able to pass me.

Now I’m going to try to recover ahead of Harelbeke and above all, Gent-Wevelgem“
