"The team told me to go in the break today so that was the plan and I'll say it was well executed," said Shmidt to Cyclingnews and Cycling Weekly at the finish line in Québec, delighted with his second race after debuting at the WorldTour-level BEMER Cyclassics last Sunday.
Shmidt is a long way from the criterium and road racing scene in his home state of Georgia but has impressed at Ineos. "I didn't know what to expect but he's turned up positive and keen, got stuck in and he was strong. It was good to see him up there," said Ineos sports director Ian Stannard.
"[It feels] amazing, I'm super grateful to be here after signing a contract with Ineos and this is my second race and hopefully more to come."
