"It's a big goal to be in Paris and to sprint for the victory. So yeah, that will be there next year and it's also a good parcours for me... I think it's really possible to win one stage, and for sure, next year I will go for that, go for a win, but it's not so easy."
"I think I did very well with some podiums and a lot of experience for the next year. The results on my debut in the Tour were perhaps even more pleasing in light of the challenges the rider had faced."
"Before the Tour, Lotto Dstny insisted that there was no pressure and no expectation on De Lie, as this was his Tour debut, so five finishes in the top five and two third places was something to celebrate."
"The Classics certainly did not go to plan with a crash at Le Samyn and then a suspected bout of Lyme disease which caused De Lie for a moment to doubt his talent on the bike."
