“There is already progress”
“I went all the way. It was very hard and at the same time very pleasant, describe Milan Vader. It had been a while since I had raced on the road and not at this level. In the meantime, I’ve adapted and I’m used to the pace in the peloton. I still have a lot to learn, but in these three days there is already progress. But there are still a lot of things to improve and I’m really looking forward to continuing.“
