“The rain made the cobblestone climbs difficult. The Kopenberg in particular was sliding and slipping all the way to the top. Then I had created a nice gap, but with the wind it was still far. I rode as hard as I could, but at the end I was way off.
The team rode fantastic. I said that they had to keep it together until the Koppenberg, I didn’t expect to sit alone. The second time I passed through Kwaremont I passed through for the first time. Then I didn’t have the right feeling anymore, but I’m glad I found it again. My season has already been a success. I can’t think about Roubaix yet.” said Mathieu van der Poel
