LOTTO-SOUDAL
Going into this years Tour de France, Lotto-Soudal was hungry for stage wins. With the legendary Thomas De Gendt leading the charge, the team led surprise breakaway efforts and fought hard for the wins and no better example of this with his win on the 9th stage.
Tim Wellens – “Had I been told before the Tour de France that I’d be wearing a distinctive jersey at the time of the first rest, I would have signed up for it. It’s a very nice feeling. In the past I struggled when it was very hot, that’s why I went to Dubai to test some equipment, drinks and supplements. It helps me really. I hope to have the legs to go in breakaways in the Pyrenees and score more points.”
