Today was a typical Belgian race, that is to say chaotic and eventful! With small roads and many turns on the circuit, as well as some windy sections, positioning was crucial!
There were three of us in the first peloton with Amandine and Marie-Morgue. They did a great job keeping us well placed and ready for the final sprint. The finish was difficult with a long straight uphill stretch. I made a small mistake during the sprint by going out into the wind a little too early. With the Tour of Flanders in my legs on Sunday, I am still satisfied. We will keep this collective spirit and there will be other opportunities for the ARKEA-B&B HOTEL team.
The race was very nervous this Monday on the Ronde de Mouscron. There were several edges that skimmed the peloton over the laps. In the end, Marie-Morgane, Amandine and Emilia were in the first group of around thirty girls. Amandine did a lot of work on placement and Marie-Morgue took over to launch Emilia into a sprint. She finally ranks 7th. The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team had a great race, which is promising for the future.
