Hugo Page: “It's still a great performance”

“I came back very quickly from behind and in the end I finished third. I could have been a bit more aggressive in the finale and I'll probably regret that when I watch the video of the sprint this evening, especially as the team did the job properly, especially Vito (Braet) who led me out. I'm still chasing my first World Tour victory and this was an opportunity, but it's still a great performance.

Above all, it's very encouraging because I'm coming out of a period where I've had a lot of problems, including crashes. It took me quite a long time to get back, but for the last two weeks I've been feeling really fit and I've programmed a peak in form to be at my best for the French championships and the Tour, because my team has assured me of my selection. It's a good dynamic and it gives me confidence. What's more, it will be nice to wear the white jersey of best young rider.”
