Kim Le Court (AG Insurance - Soudal Team): “I'm speechless. I suffered a bit today with my breathing. I couldn't breathe, I was dropped back several times, but I never gave up. My sports director in the headset and all my teammates gave me so much motivation every time I came back. Julie van de Velde's effort to get me back in the peloton, and really everyone else, played a big role. It's proof that you should never give up. At the end, I saw that I had the legs in La Roche-aux-Faucons and I really settled into my rhythm. I just kept my rhythm, I had confidence in myself, I told myself not to push too hard at the beginning and to save a little for the end, and I came back strong at the end. I closed the gap on Demi (Vollering), Puck (Pieterse), and Lotte (Kopecky). My legs were starting to cramp a bit in the last 5 kilometres. But my DS Jolien [D'Hoore] told me to start the sprint on Demi's wheel if we arrived in a group with her, and that's what I did. I cramped too when I started sprinting but I never gave up. I can't believe it. It's crazy.”
