Stan Dewulf: "Happy with my condition
"The Tour Wallonie was my comeback; I hadn't raced since June 20 at the Belgian Championships. I was able to do a training camp for over three weeks in Livigno (Italy), and I didn't expect to be in such good shape after such a long period of training. I finished the Tour Wallonia 4 seconds behind the winner, which is both a lot and a little! Maybe I needed a more difficult stage to try something, but that's how it goes. It's motivating for the rest of the season. I'm going to take part in the Arctic Race of Norway (August 5-8) before the Vuelta Espana (August 14-September 5). This will be my second time participating in a three-week race. I hope it will help me get in shape for the end-of-season races, especially Paris-Roubaix."[/su_quote]
