Ethan Vernon - " Delighted with this victory. I knew I had the form, and this gave me confidence"

Ethan Vernon started the season with a bang by winning Trofeo Palma, taking first place ahead of Biniam Girmay, and earning his first victory of the season.

“It’s nice to come away with a victory here after the team was so close in the other four races,” he said after the race. He continues, “The weather was finally good, which was nice for a change, and the boys did a great job the entire day.”

The success of the execution was due to the fact that each team member was familiar with their specific responsibilities and carried them out effectively. “Tim worked the whole race, while the rest of the guys brought me where I needed to be when it came to crunch time, and I’m grateful for that.”

He came close to winning Trofeo Alcudia but Marijn van den Berg proved to be a bit faster, forcing him to settle for second place, so this victory is especially meaningful to him. “After Wednesday, when I made it over all those climbs, I knew I had the form, and this gave me confidence. I’m delighted with this victory, the entire squad deserved it,” concluded Vernon.
