“I told the team that we needed to be in the front all day, and I think the focus from start to finish was excellent; we were always there,” said Jasper Stuyven. “And I got to finish off today.It’s the best victory I’ve had. | 
“Last year was a disaster, but this year is a good start. Today we showed as a team that last year was a mishap. We have a good group, and we finished the season well last year with Mads winning Worlds, and we were really motivated to keep this vibe going this year, We proved today that it worked out really well.”“We said yesterday in the team meeting that the move could happen early in this weather, and with the crosswinds early on, there were already tired legs in the peloton,” explained Stuyven. “And then I was following some moves, and I saw a group going, and I saw all the big teams were there. I think it was very important to jump [into it] and not get into a defensive mode. Then I heard immediately in the radio that everything was slowing down behind, so it was a good group to go to the line with.” |
75th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Podium: 2nd Yves LAMPAERT (BEL/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP), 1st Jasper STUYVEN (BEL/TREK - SEGAFREDO) and 3th Søren KRAGH ANDERSEN (DEN/SUNWEB) + 6s |
