Pre-Race
“Beginning in Belgium will be brand new for me, as I have never had the opportunity to race in this country. On the other hand, I have already attended Belgian races, and I know that the weather, the cobbles, the wind play an essential role. It will also be my very first event in the professional ranks, so I oscillate between desire and a little apprehension, of course. In Belgium, I know that the races are warrior events. I’ve ridden cobbles before in practice, just to try. I felt good, but I was alone, and it will obviously be different in the race. I’m actually trying at the start of the season not to put too much pressure on myself, I’m happy to start the year 2022 on the Samyn, and especially to start my apprenticeship as a professional cyclist. This is a first step for me.”
