Rik Verbrugghe: “This trail is perfect to me. It is really something for Belgian riders. I've seen enough to know which selection I should make. I take eight riders. I need three, to four riders that the race can finish. But I also need riders for the race in our hands. I can be difficult to a good to in the beginning on the head to drive. Some riders are too good for. I will be a lot of riders have to disappoint you. I'm going to that with the correct explanation.”
