Lander Loockx still hadn't received any explanation regarding his non-selection from national coach Sven Vanthourenhout. That is still not the case, but the 26-year-old rider from
TDT-Unibet has now washed away the disappointment he assures WielerFlits.
However, the non-selection is not that bad for Loockx. "The past period has been very busy for me. These were weeks in which you really lived from cross to cross. By not participating in the European Championships, I can resume training for another ten days in a row. That was hardly possible in recent weeks. However, it is important to do sufficient training with a view to the rest of the season. And that is also crucial towards the summer."
