Jordi Warlop experienced a disappointing season last year, which ended prematurely, but he is determined to prove himself this season and has taken a step in the right direction by securing silver in the Muscat Classic.
“I am very happy with this opportunity, and now I can confirm that I was good,” he told WielerFlits. He continued, “On the one hand, it is super nice for me, but of course, I would have liked to win for myself and for the team.”
He presents a brief overview of the occurrences. “I was always in the first group, but on the limit. Just before the final climb, it all came together through Movistar. It was for me to climb over the mountain. After that, I knew the top 10 was in it, but it got even better. I am very happy with that.”
Warlop was among the riders impacted by the dissolution of the B&B Hotels-KTM team, and eventually reached out to Patrick Lefevere seeking a chance to join Soudal Quick-Step's development squad.“I went looking for a team. But everything was full, or there was no budget or teams didn't believe in me. Then I took the plunge and called Patrick Lefevere myself. With the question: Can I join the Devo Team.”
He was given the green light to join the team and he is thrilled that he took the initiative. “I am super happy with the opportunity I got, and also for Patrick for giving me the opportunity. I hope to go more often. I kept working and hope I can turn pro again next year,” concluded Warlop.
