“The race started very hard”, opened Lambrecht shortly after the match. “The tempo was too high, but I could still. After a while I could in the competition. I was still quite fresh thanks to the hints of Jelle and Tosh. They had told me that the best was to with a small gear drive around.”
In the final was all of a sudden, without saying for Lambrecht. “I was actually in the whole of the castle à bloc. I attacked one time, and therefore I was in what later saw the great escape. In the sprint I had even braking, otherwise it was a top five maybe. I'm certainly happy with this result in my first Amstel. It is a dream and here I had in advance signed for,” said Lambrecht VTM.
With his sixth place finish was Lambrecht a privileged witness of the penalty stroke that Mathieu van der Poel from his calves shook. “There was no size on him. I look there myself, with open mouth to. He rode almost the whole last straight line on the head. What he has done has been more than phenomenal, hey. (laughs) For me it will still work out to be to be able to. I must now look to the Walloon Arrow. That is our team strong with Jelle Vanendert, Tim Wellens and myself.”
