“I feel pretty good.”
Well launched by his teammates, Syritsa launched his sprint 250 meters from the finish and won in style, he who was not the big favorite of the day: “The stage was short and very fast. The guys were always by my side, helping me maintain my position and bringing me water, as it was very hot. In the last kilometers, we had an excellent lead. We drove past and got into the perfect position for the sprint. In the last kilometer, Rudiger Selig dropped me off exactly where I needed to be, and I started my sprint with about 250 meters to go. After the Belgian Classics, I feel pretty good, so I’m happy to have capitalized on my good form from the first stage. Well, we’ll see how the next few days go, but of course my goal is to fight for every sprint stage.”
