Matteo Trentin consoles himself by winning the Tour of Wallonia

Wallonia Tour

Matteo Trentin won the Tour of Wallonia succeeding Filippo Ganna, who è in Paris. The experienced rider from Borgo Valsugana è started right there to express his views. "One of my goals was to go to the Olympic Games, and from the national championship I know I won’t be there," he said.

"The Tour de Wallonie was ideal preparation anyway, so I went ahead setting myself new goals. – continued the Tudor Pro Cycling rider -. I thought Groupama-FDJ would ride for Paul Penhoët but in the end è it was Samuel Watson who attacked".

"È also nice to see the standings being decided on the wire after five hard days. I saw the riders on my team work like never before. Just give them a goal and they know that I can finish the job by bringing a win home".

"I appreciated all those fans along the roads shouting my name with an Italian accent; I know that the Italian communityè historically important in Wallonia. That is another reason why it is a pleasure to win here" Trentin concluded.
