"It is with a little awe. You never quite know how you're going to react in such a big race and how you're going to react in week three. It's been a dream since you were a little kid to ride a Grand Tour, so I'm really looking forward to it," says the young Team dsm-firmenich PostNL rider enthusiastically.

"Fabio is a huge character here in the team and probably also the fastest man in the whole world. I am really looking forward to working with him. I've already gotten to know him a bit, he's a very cool guy," he concludes.
