On Sunday, the long-anticipated gravel stage to and from Troyes is on the programme. Tiesj Benoot is already looking forward to it. “I hope for a nice day tomorrow, where bad luck will hopefully not be decisive. I see possibilities for us. We have many classic riders in the team who can do well on such a course. Also Jonas already proved he can always position himself well in hectic conditions. Although Pogacar will be a tough opponent. He already showed his quality in Strade Bianche. It will be a fun stage to follow.”
