“I am surprised to win my category (Pro Am) in my first race in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux.
I had already driven the car in the 24 Hours of Dubai.

“I started racing on the circuit when I was 21.
And even when I was a pro cyclist, I still rode a lot in Zolder and Spa.
I loved it because it allowed me to eliminate stress, continues the quadruple winner of Paris-Roubaix.
I dream of the 24 Hours of Spa and Le Mans.
I'm working on trying to ride there this year.
And if it's not this season, it will be next.
The beast is released.
