“I’ve been training quite hard, and it was nice to see that pay off at Paris-Tours.
“I’m in a bit better shape on the road now. I’m looking forward to the Abu Dhabi Tour and racing with the lads again.
“It was great to be racing with guys like Elia, Luke [Rowe], [Ian] Stannard for the first time and Elia will be out in Abu Dhabi as well.”
