Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime): “The Mur de Huy never lies”

April 17 ^th 2024 - 19:02

I tried find my own rhythm in the final climb to the Mur de Huy, as I did last year. I wanted to ride at the front for as long as possible and as hard as possible. My goal was to be in first position from the bottom to the top, yet Kasia had the power to come around me and win. I was hoping her legs would explode and I could come back, but she did hold on. It was nice to see her win – she is a very strong rider who is always up there.

I am happy about my shape. I can still improve, of course, but keeping in mind that the biggest goals are a little bit further in the season. For the moment, I’m content because in Amstel I felt much better than in the previous race, and today I felt better than in Amstel. Hope this continues like this! As for Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes, it is a very different race compared to today’s – here, the Mur de Huy never lies.
