After his final victory over the Baloise Belgium Tour, Søren Waerenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) admitted that he was not very calm in the finale. Indeed his dolphin Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek), taking 4th place in the sprint finish, was very close to overthrowing him through the bonus game. “I focused on winning the first bonus sprint, and then staying in Vacek’s wheel, but he was also very strong in the final sprint. I was very lucky that three other guys finished ahead of him.” said Waerenskjold.

“I fought for every second”
The Norwegian above all built his victory on the inaugural time trial on Wednesday, but he wanted to thank his teammates for this success: “I am very happy. This team is great because they ran well all week. JI would like to thank them all.”. This victory was also acquired with pain: “It was not easy. I’ve been tired the last few days. It certainly gives you confidence, but I really gave it my all and fought for every second.”. At 24 years old, this is an important success for Soren Waerenskjoldwho will savor it as it should be: “Tomorrow I’m going to rest well, and this evening I’m going to have a beer in Zaventem”.
