“After spring, everything is uncertain”
“We're not going to do anything different. It fits together so well, so we're going to copy and paste what we did last year leading up to Paris-Roubaix. He will participate in two stage races in February. It will probably be in France, just like this year, where he rode in Bessèges and in Provence. Then he goes to Mallorca for a training camp, then he does Paris-Nice and finally, all the big classics.” reveals his trainer. However, after Roubaix, the program is not defined. “After spring, everything is uncertain. We will have to see what the team and the sponsors want regarding the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España.”declares Reck.
