"With this form, I feel there will be some nice things to come" - Caleb Ewan has good sensations after first bunch sprint

Third place might not be a desired result, but it gives the Lotto-Dstny rider hope towards upcoming stages as he confirms in press release.

"As expected, this was a really nervous one but we did well with the team. The level here is really high and almost every top sprinter is present. So it was an enormous battle for the best positions. Of course we missed Jasper at the very end but we had to change plans today and did well."

"It was a hectic sprint but I felt really good. I was maybe a little too far back when I started my sprint but we have to take the positives from today. With this form, I feel there will be some nice things to come," concludes Ewan.
