"If any teams are still looking for a good lead-out, they are in our team" - Emotional Sasha Weemaes makes heartfelt plea after win in Langkawi amidst rider uncertainty

Human Powered Health sprinter Sasha Weemaes took the first professional victory of his career on stage 7 of the Tour de Langkawi and afterwards, the emotion of the occasion overcame him.

"I had a very bad year, with many health problems. So this victory means a lot to me, but also to the team," said the impassioned 25-year-old Belgian in his post-stage interview. "They are all friends and some riders are still without a contract, so if any teams are still looking for a good lead-out, they are in our team."

Whilst some chatter around which team Rog, Remco et al, might ride for next year, it isn't same for every rider 😥@sashaweemaes @hphcycling wins in Langkawi and includes this sobering thought
