During the last weekend I took part in two races: on Saturday in the E3 Prijs in Harelbeke and on Sunday in Gent-Wevelgem.
Finishing the E3 Prijs at the ninth place I proved that I am able to keep up with the best also at important races. Cancellara, Boonen and Flecha were in the lead chased by myself, Leukemans, three Rabobank riders and Pozzato. The rest of the peleton was more than two minutes behind. During the final I lead out the sprint for Leukemans because I was quite tired. The race was really exhausting and even if I went to bed right after dinner, I still could feel the great efforts that I had made the next day. Gent-Wevelgem wasn`t a perfect race for me: I was tired and the frequency variation took its toll. At the end I have to be satisfied with my 18th pace. It was difficult to do better because only a few riders took part in both races that weekend. These two tough days can be considered as a good training particularly with regard to the long distance of the Tour of Flanders.
