“The last lap was really difficult”
After the race, she looked back on her victory and her mistake in the last lap: “Lucinda was almost on my wheel. We already saw in Lokeren that Lucinda and I are quite equal. The last lap was really difficult. I was tired and I still thought that I had to pass this sandy area one last time. times correctly to win, but in the middle it went wrong and I lost my concentration. I was running as fast as I could, but it wasn't very fast anymore. Lucinda was almost on my wheel, but I stayed focused. to the finish line because the sprint was too short to really sprint I had to draw on my reserves, but this gap allowed me to seize my moment I knew that in such a fast lap it would be. It’s hard to close the gap unless you have legs of fire.”
