168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sep Vanmarcke (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:LottoNL-Jumbo) proved that any Tour de France fatigue was well and truly out of his system with a race-defining but ultimately disappointing ride in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:RideLondon-Surrey Classic on Sunday.

The Belgium rider was making his first serious competitive outing since tꦓhe Tour as he builds up for the World Champi♒onships later in the year. 

Vanmarcke started slowly in London but helped form the race-winni🌌ng breakaway when he broke clear with seven other riders with around 70km re𒅌maining.

A classics specialist, Vanmarcke even managed ⛎an attack 15 kilometres from home but was reeled in before the line with Jean-Pierre Drucker (BMC Racing) taking the win ahead of Vanmarcke’s teammate Mike Teunissen and Ben Swift (Team Sky).

“It took a while until I felt okay. This was my first race since the Tour de France and I didn’t do too much last week,” Vanmarcke told Cyclingnews at the finish.

“On the hills I felt okay and then on the second last hill I attacked𒁃 an⛄d opened the race up. From then on it was hard racing and we got away in a group of eight.

“With 15km to go I saw my moment but it w🐬as a headwind all the time. That was my problem in the last few kilometres I had to slow. They caught me with ꧒1.5km to go and that was a little disappointing.”

Vanmarcke’s solꦍo bid wasn’t helped by a race motorbike almost taking him out of the race, however, he at least surv🍎ived the ordeal as he starts a phase of racing that will lead towards the Worlds.

“After this I have a little break and then start in Hamburg and I want to be good in Plouay but espec𓃲ially so in the race in Canada, and then hopefully the Worlds. Last year I was in Canada for the first time and I was seventh in one race. They’re good races for me.”

Of course Vanmarcke must prove he is worthy of selection for the Worlds before he can🅠 form any designs of success. In all likelihood, he should make the national team but results in the build up would do his chances no 𒁏harm at all.

“The problem is that you always need to be selected and that means you need to be good before the Worlds. Maybe that’s not the best way but it’s the way it is. It’s a bit more difficult now because I planned to be good only starting at🐓 Canada and the selcetion will be made before those races. I’ll see what happens and if I’m selected. It’s up to the coa🐼ch.

“It’s a course that suits me. They say that it has some hills like the Flemish o🐼nes and there are some cobbled sections."

Greg Vaಞn Avermaet and Philippe Gilbert are the probable candidates to lead Belgium at the Worlds, especially given their recent form.

“Everyone is on a really good level so if you look at how Phil and Greg are riding then for sure they are going to be the le𒊎aders of the team. The res🐭t of us could still have chances but we have to race as a team.”
