While Tadej Pogacar was riding to a sumptuous Amstel Gold Race victory, 22-year-old Irishman Ben Healy was riding to an arguably as impressive second placed finish much to his delight.
"Second behind the best rider of the day, I can be happy with that," Healy says in a post-race interview taken immediately following the conclusion of the 2023 Amstel Gold Race. Following another runner-up finish at Brabantse Pijl, the young EF Education-EasyPost rider has had something of a breakthrough week and announced himself in the upper echelons of the World Tour.
"You really had to race carefully, because an important move could happen at any time," Healy explains. “These kinds of circumstances suit me well. It was very different from yesterday, I adapted well, but I think other riders had more trouble with that."
"I really took a step this year, which is great," the Irishman continues. "The legs were very good again today and I hope to continue this," he concludes.
