Tour of Flanders with Greg Van Avermaet was last year team mate of Alberto Bettiol, but also the Olympic champion saw this don’t arrive. The rider of the CCC tried to respond on the Oude Kwaremont, but was honest in his response: “When he went, I could not follow and I had to own speed”.
When BMC took Alberto Bettiol still part of the same team as Greg Van Avermaet. The 33-year-old Belgian knows the qualities of the Italian, but was still surprised: “I had Bettiol not really among the favourites set”, it was Van Avermaet honest. The rider of the CCC knew that Bettiol a talented rider, but told, however, that the Italian rider last year, less sharp. The acceleration of Bettiol on the Oude Kwaremont had Van Avermaet no response: “I simply was not strong enough to Bettiol to follow. When he went, I could not follow and I had my own speed. I was one of the better in the chase group”, was the Belgian to be honest.
