In particular, I shared a lot of time in winter training with Gerben Thijssen who taught me a lot. In the field of time trials, I can count on Rune Herregodts who is always available to answer my questions. Recently, I received advice from sports director Dimitri Claeys to prepare for the four days of Eroica and its gravel roads, it will be my first race with the Belgian national team. This year, my big goals are the Classic of the Alps and the Tour de Valromey, two prestigious events in the category, where I hope to finish in the top 10 with the intention of coming back stronger next year as a second year Juniors. I will continue my development step by step, hoping one day to realize my childhood dream and participate in the Tour de France with Intermarché-Wanty.”
