Wiebes did not want to speak of a perfect sprint. “It was very chaotic. My teammates did well the whole race and in the last lap we had complete control,” said Wiebes, who suddenly found himself almost alone in the final kilometer. “We lost each other in the chaotic final phase in the sprint train, but I found the wheel of the Italian train. I started early because I felt that I had to start with a lot of speed. I had to start early”
