Jordi Meeus had a remarkable weekend, by winning the sixth stage of the Tour de Suisse and then claiming another victory at the inaugural Copenhagen Sprint. This impressive achievement raised questions about his participation as he abandoned one race for another, but he received a waiver from UCI due to teammate injuries. Meeus demonstrated his skills with a strong lead-out in Switzerland and a strategic approach in Copenhagen, contributing significantly to his 13th and 14th career wins in a short period.
I knew that there was a headwind in the sprint, so I kept myself in the wheel as long as possible. The pack opened up nicely so that I could break out on the right. While my rivals were slowing, I had an 'extra gear' up my sleeve.
We didn't have enough riders to start in Denmark, in part because [teammate and fellow sprinter] Sam Welsford got injured in the Antwerp Port Epic. So we asked for a pass from the UCI to let me fly there, and you know the rest of the story. There were no problems - I had a great weekend.
