“I achieved three important KOMs, if that’s not enough…”
Four teams are said to be on the Canadian climber. “It's all done quite informally, through social media, but there's definitely interest. The problem is it's so late in the season it's hard to get a place. If I had to an estimate now, I think there is a 30% chance that I will participate in the WorldTour next year”, he declared, having not passed the first Zwift Academy test this year.
“My biggest dream is to become one of the best male servants in the rankings, like Sepp Kuss . He's also a friend of mine, we've run together in the past. I hope that if a team enters a Grand Tour for classification, they choose me first, regardless of who is leading. Because they know that I am the best support, this is my dream. I'm better at helping others get a good result than running for a result myself.”explained Burke. “It was a perfect year, in which I won all the competitions I participated in and achieved three important KOMs . If that's not enough, I don't know what else I can do next year.” finally concluded the Canadian.
