“We’re going to try again.”
Alex Baudin looked back on his day: “It was a very fast day and the whole team did a great job to position themselves well at the foot of the final climb. We managed our effort with Victor (Lafay) at first. Then, Victor managed to follow Tim Wellens’ attack 2km from the finish. For my part, I was able to let the other teams who wanted to catch up with this leading duo work. Unfortunately we lacked a little freshness to follow Lennert Van Eetvelt. and Oscar Onley who flew to victory I am happy with my performance and this good third place Victor finishes fourth. We are both in wait for the general classification.
