"I didn’t come into Paris–Nice targeting the general classification, as the plan was initially to support our GC riders. But after the fourth stage the race situation changed and I suddenly found myself well positioned in the standings. From that point on it became about trying to stay up there and fighting every day. The race was extremely hard all week and today I wasn’t feeling at my best, but David De la Cruz helped me a lot and the whole team worked incredibly hard. In the end I just tried to empty the tank and hold onto the result. Finishing in the top 15 in a race like Paris–Nice is something I’m really happy with."

"Finishing in the top 15 at Paris–Nice is never something you can take for granted. This race is extremely demanding and the team approached it with maximum focus. We had to deal with crashes and illness that forced three quarters of the team to abandon, but the riders kept fighting every day for the team. Of course it’s not ideal to finish the race with only two riders, Nick Zukowsky and David De la Cruz, but that shows just how tough this edition was. Paris–Nice has always been a difficult race, and this year it may have been even more so. Finishing with Nick in 14th place overall is a good result."

"It's my best overall result here at Tirreno-Adriatico in my career, so I’m really happy. The level of the race was extremely high throughout the week and it was great to be right there in the mix with the front group. The fifth stage in particular was very demanding in the finale — everyone was really on the limit. The rivals were of a very high level, so I’m pleased that I managed to hold my ground. Of course, you always hope to do even better, but overall I can say I’m satisfied with my performance."

"The build-up and the start of Tirreno–Adriatico were quite complicated for us. We lost Quinten Hermans after his crash at Strade Bianche and then Xandro Meurisse and Sjoerd Bax were both forced to abandon due to illness. Despite that, the team stayed very active and we were present in the breakaways on some of the most important stages. The crash in the final stage also prevented us from sprinting the way we had planned, but overall we carried our colours with pride across the seven stages. Marc Donovan’s 17th place in the general classification is a good result, especially considering the level of the competition and how demanding the week has been.” Despite the challenges faced in both races, the performances underline the team’s fighting spirit and ability to remain competitive in the peloton’s most demanding stage races."
