He previously said: “I think it was already a big improvement from the early days. So I think I have to check to maintain that sense of intelligence, and then maybe at the time of the week I can ride a little more offensively.
Can he win?” I don’t think so. Possibly it would be hard to predict, even though we also have Jasper [Philipsen] who is doing very well. I think he’s already shown that he’s in wonderful shape and has a very smart Sprint, so if he feels smart, we’ll run for him.

On Wout van Aert, possible winner of today’s stage: “We will take him day by day, of course he had a simple day, he rested at the beginning of the climb. Today can be any other day, but of course rest can only pass all the way, so it’s hard to have an organizing career today.
