“I think I have died ten times today. The first heat caused a feeling of oppression,” says 19-year-old Nez. “That shouldn’t be an excuse, because it was so warm for everyone. I’ve heard a lot of guys complain. It was as if my throat was constantly being pressed in the final. I had a really good feeling in my leg, despite the fact that during the first two clips on Berg Ten Houte I kept stumbling. The first time I was stopped by Florian Vermeersch who I think kicked his chain. The driveway then I strapped with my transmission into the fence and stopped again. I always had to chase and that of course cost strength. Then I tried to survive Until the last time Berg Ten Hute. After that I rode a strong enemy, so I can be satisfied with my first stage.”

There may be a sprint on Thursday. The trial date has been set for Friday.

“I don’t think I’m going to be in this sprint. There are already race valves in the peloton here. I think I’d prefer to focus on the arrangement. I also had some serious time on test bike time. Yes, especially on a job this race stage. Don’t expect me to be In the top ten, but I really want to measure myself against time. And this yellow jersey is a target now. I want to keep it for as long as possible.”
