Yves Lampaert leaves bittersweet BEMER Cyclassics with new motivation: "Despite this, I’m even more motivated for the next events"
CyclingMonday, 21 August 2023 at 01:00
In his first appearance since the World Championships in Glasgow, Yves Lampaert came within 75 meters of winning the Bemer Cyclassics, only to be denied better than sixth after one of the most insane final kilometers of a race this year.
"On the last ascent of the Waseberg, a group with myself and Florian rode clear. It was a very good situation for us. When Politt and McNulty rode away, I wanted to go with them so that Florian could keep his energy in case it came down to a sprint. We had a nice gap and rode full gas, but they came back incredibly close to the finish. Despite this, I felt good today and now I’m even more motivated for the next events," said Lampaert after his second World Tour top ten of the season.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself.
