He further adds, “I kept my cool the whole game. The team told me to wait until the sprint. My teammates made the race hard and that was the ideal scenario for me. Because of Victor Campenaerts ' executioner work I sat in a chair. Moreover, such a finish suits me very well, especially after a tough race.”
Arnaud De Lie is a major driving force behind his motivation, and he hopes to keep up with him while providing assistance and encouragement in the future. “The team is a big group of friends. Arnaud De Lie really raises the level. That has a positive effect on riders like me, who want to show themselves to enforce their place in the team. That is nice,” concluded Menten.
