« Four weeks ago I received a warm welcome for my first arrival in Europe and since then on I discovered a lot thanks to the support of the team. I learn something new each day. In terms of training for example, with my trainer Christophe Prémont. The five day Arden Challenge last week was the first race our sports director Kévin Van Melsen planned for me. It was quite a challenge to race in bad weather circumstances, but a good first experience with my teammates in Belgium. Today I participated in my first European UCI race and I immediately sprinted to the podium, an incredible result! » « We were here with five 18 year old riders of Circus-ReUz-Technord. Alexy Faure followed all attacks on the Feldberg, but in the end a bunch sprint was unavoidable on this course. We did everything to bring Alessio Delle Vedove in a good position. Unfortunately he was boxed in, so in extremis I had to take over his role. Maybe it was even possible to do better than third. Anyway, this podium makes me really happy. It is an important experience for my next races, starting with La Flèche Ardennaise next week. »
