It gave me goosebumps to be so encouraged by the Belgian supporters. It’s probably my best day on the bike ( …) To win my first Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it’s incredible. I felt good all day. I had a lot of mental and physical problems for a year and a half, but finally I feel that everything is fine well and stabilizing again. I am almost the best Remco I can be and I have now shown it. I am very proud and happy. I want to say a big thank you to everyone around me. My friends, my family, the team of the team, Patrick Lefevere… They always believed in me.”
