…the only rider I ever really looked up to was Jens Voigt because of his aggressive style of racing.
Each year I try to spend a little more time out front, 2018 was the first year I spent over 3,000km in breakaways – I did 13,000km of racing.
At the [2018] Tour Down Under I did three days of chasing the breakaway and then one day I was in the break. That is good training for later in the season. That’s 300-350 watts for three or four hours, that’s the power you produce. In training that would be impossible – maybe you could for an hour, but then… mentally you just can’t do it
