The hoped-for sprint win unfortunately didn't work out. This morning a mistake took away all my chances. But my sixth place in the time trial showed that I am doing well now. I use my frustration to work my way to fifth place in the final standings. That didn't bring me any top results, but gave my a lot of confidence in my form, which happens to be quite good. You could say that I gave myself a good ending in the race. I feel strong and therefore look forward with much confidence and anticipation to the Scheldeprijs on Wednesday. Until then.
