With
Christophe Laporte riding over the line as winner and
Wout van Aert just behind in second it was the kind of day that Jumbo-Visma could have only dreamed of and van Hooydonck realises these moments need to be savoured.
"It's great that everyone rides so well, so I can live with the fact that I haven't won yet," he jokes. “My form is good, but that goes for everyone in the team:
Olav Kooij for example, who is still super young and should be a sprinter, but he was just there after the last Kemmelberg."
