“I finish 2nd, this is not the place for which I came“He started by saying.”For my part, I did what I had to do in a fairly long final. We saw some bizarre tactics, not necessarily on the part of Jasper (Philpsen), but especially on the part of Lotto (Editor's note: first with 4 men in the head group, then with 2 runners). They always followed attacks but never collaborated, it's a bit frustrating. If they had collaborated, we would have quietly turned in a group and the final would have been different. It was not always up to me to do the job. We were 10 in front of everyone must do their share of work. Tim (Wellens) chose a time when everyone was block. He chose the right time but he also stayed in front later. It was clear that he was in a good day. I did the maximum to finish as high as possible. In the end, we have a beautiful Belgian champion. For my part, we can say that there is positive in perspective of the Tour de France next week“, the concl a Remco Evenepoel which comes out with the confidence of these three days in Belgium.
