>“Today you need both good legs and a bit of luck,” Van der Poel said to Het Nieuwsblad before the start, looking ahead once again. “Hopefully we’ll have that again, like in recent years.”
>Van der Poel will likely have to sprint at the end on the Roubaix velodrome, although he does not want to jump to conclusions. “If you can sprint for the win, you’ve ridden a good race regardless, but we’ll have to see how it goes.”
>As the defending champion, Van der Poel seems to be the undisputed leader for Alpecin-Premier Tech, but there is also a certain Jasper Philipsen. “A scenario where Jasper sprints for the win is certainly a possibility. He was a bit sick, but is better now, and this race suits both of us very well.”
doesn't sound very confident
