« I finally felt optimal again after a couple of race days in weather circumstances which don't suit me. Thanks to the great support of Jan Bakelants and my other teammates I could shelter from the wind and approach the final kilometer with a lot of power. A narrowing of the street caused a move in the peloton and even though I managed to avoid a crash, I lost a lot of positions. Luckily I didn't crash, so I could still sprint to 5th place. I'm satisfied to conclude the season with this result. » « I'm over the moon with my first two months in the World Tour. I knew that I was joining a good team, but I was surprised about the warm welcome within Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert. The staff and riders immediately made me feel like home and created circumstances in which I can perform without pressure. This was beyond my expectations and I'm taking this good feeling home tomorrow, to Eritrea. I can't wait to be reunited with my baby, who has really grown up those past three months, before returning to Europe for the preparation of the 2022 season with my other family! »
