“The third time was finally the right one! I was starting to get a little impatient after my 2 podiums on the previous stages.
It’s fantastic to finally be able to have a big victory.
After stepping on the podium twice, I knew my condition was more than good, but it's always frustrating not being able to finish the job. "
“The circuit included a pretty difficult hill today.
I was left behind from the front group but finally made it back and felt I had a good chance of winning.
I was second out of the last corner & gave it my all on the paving stones.
I do not yet realize what is happening to me, it is wonderful. "
“I'm aiming for victory in the Belgian championship, but I'm not going to focus on the result.
The Belgian championship is always a special race.
You can imagine all the possible scenarios, the course will always be different.
I will give the best of myself and maybe I will leave with the tricolor jersey. "
