Without a doubt,
Puck Pieterse can be proud of her spring campaign. After completing 11 races (and not just
some races!), she is yet to finish outside of a top-10. Today's 2nd place at
Liege-Bastogne-Liege Femmes may be a bit bittersweet, but Pieterse admits that victory simply wasn't within her reach.
"I can live with it, you know. But in one week it went from 'yes, I'm third in the Amstel' to 'ah, shit, I'm second in Liege'",
she laughs about her progress in front of the
WielerFlits camera.
"But that's nothing to be ashamed of. I gave it my all today. Every sprint is different, but I knew that Kim Le Court was probably the fastest, so I got on her wheel. I just couldn't get out of it."
