“I’m glad that I will ride for this team, which I have always admired since I was very young. I remember watching Tom Boonen attack on the Taaienberg – it’s one of the best memories I have since I was a kid. He’s someone I looked up to and I’m delighted I will get to ride in the same team as he did and write history. Everyone here gave me a great welcome, making me feel immediately at home. It’s a dream come true to be here and I hope to make some important steps in my career as part of the Wolfpack. I want to help the team whenever they need me, become a better rider and reach my highest level, which I hope that one day will bring me close to a victory in Paris-Roubaix.”
