“I'm happy with this week”
“I was pretty good, the sensations were pretty good.” explained Remco Evenepoel After his successful week in the United Kingdom. “I trained well. I rolled a few steps to go get the limit with a victory (Saturday) and a second place to the general. I did a lot of work. I'm happy with this week. I come out better than at the beginning.
With this result, the Belgian is full of confidence to face Tadej Pogacar au Rwanda in less than a month: “I am rather satisfied with the result, because it is more or less the maximum that I could draw from this race. The fourth step could perhaps have turned differently for me, but we can be satisfied, because I was doing my return to competition after a long period. I gave everything here and I would have loved to leave with a victory in the general classification, but in the end, I am satisfied with my result, the victory of the stage that I won. A great performance and an important moral boost before the world championships. “
