ProTeam Slock second overall at Olympia’s Tour

After five days of racing, Lotto Dstny rider Liam Slock finished second in the overall rankings of the Olympia’s Tour. In the windy last stage, Liam Slock was part of a breakaway which lasted until the finish line. The 22-year-old Belgian had to settle for a seventh place in the stage, which resulted in a second place in the general classification.

Liam Slock: “It was a hectical stage race in which the wind played a prominent part. Fortunately, I was never surprised by the wind. When I was able to take off with the leading group, I knew I had a chance on the final victory. During the penultimate climb it became clear that my legs weren’t good enough and I had to let go.”

“At the start of the race I was aiming for a top ten position in the final classification. I am very satisfied with this result, and I know that together with the team I did everything in my power to win. It just didn't work out in the end, but I want to thank the team for all their hard work.”

Neo-pro Liam Slock looks back at these past few months with a satisfied feeling.

“I have suffered a lot in those first months as a pro, but above all I enjoyed it enormously. I am most of all looking forward to my first Paris-Roubaix now, where I hope to  learn a lot.”
