Christophe Laporte won last weekend the Gent-Wevelgem and today he has conquered the Dwars door Vlaanderen. The Frenchman took his chances perfectly and was understandably very happy with what he achieved after astounding success

"It was a very complicated day, the team did a great job, it's incredible, I'm happy to have achieved it," Laporte said in a post-race interview. On the race strategy, he highlighted the work of his teammate Tiesj Benoot to select the group so that he had the chance to take advantage of his strength at the end: "Tiesj was very strong on the climb, he was the one who made the selection and then we collaborated well in the group and I waited for my moment to take my chance".
