6 p.m. 8 p.m. Van Avermaet: “More climbers at the start doesn’t make it easier.” Greg Van Avermaet (AG2R-Citroën) has already placed second on the Strade Bianche twice (in 2015 and 2017). Do not immediately think of winning. “My best chance came through here,” van Avermaet says. “There were a lot of classic riders in the beginning, but in recent years a lot of good climbers who are also doing really well have been involved in a day’s work. That doesn’t make it any easier for me.” “I’m still a 75-77kg rider. You always have to carry that weight with you on those slopes. But that doesn’t change the fact that I still find it a very nice race. That’s why I come back every year to the Strade Bianche.” †
