Cameron Wurf's return to the professional squad It has not been a walk of roses, since it has been seen from the beginning pulling the squad to try to break the race on a windy day and high temperatures.

Wurf commented in cyclingnews “The test was very difficult, as expected. As a team we didn't have a sprinter, so the plan was to make it as difficult as possible, and that meant making it difficult from the beginning".

"For my first race, it would have been wonderful to have about 50-60 km to ease the way, but I was the first person to stretch the group. That went to the first 5 km and I was at the limit from there ".

Finally, Dries Deveynns Deceuninck-QuickStep took the victory followed by INEOS Pavel Sivakov Cameron withdrew from the test.

"When you have a team like this, it's easy to motivate yourself to do what you can,” Wurf said.

“You can tell that Pavel and Dylan in particular were super strong. If we could make it hard all day, they would have a chance to do well, and they showed that at the end. It was great".

"It was a great way to start. It was difficult, but I'm glad I did it now, as soon as possible. Now I know what to expect and improve for next time".

There are no previous results.
