WELL DONE

I have been at home since Saturday evening and Sunday I allowed myself a rest day after an exhausting week. Omloop Het Nieuwsblad went well. One the one hand because the weather was wonderful and this is already sufficient to be optimistic, on the other hand because I crossed the finish line in the first group that arrived behind Flecha. He did a fantastic performance and was the strongest rider; both facts were underlined by his victory. I was always in the lead of the race even though the situation changed several times in between the walls and cobblestone sections: groups were formed; the peleton was split up into small parts etc. But in any case I was ahead during the important situations of the race. During the final Bozic managed to re-enter the group behind Flecha, so I started to work for him in order to gain the second place but it didn`t work out. The signs have been positive as arriving among the first riders in such a race shows that the work that I had done during the winter pays off. I am not yet at 100% of my shape, but when I will be in top shape I hope I can have some fun during the classics.
