Mattias Skjelmose, a 24-year-old cyclist from Lidl-Trek, reflects on a challenging season as he prepares for the Tour de France. Despite a notable victory at the Amstel Gold Race, he has faced setbacks including crashes and illness that have disrupted his racing plans. In light of these experiences, he emphasizes the importance of patience and recalibration while maintaining focus on his ultimate goal. Having raced in the Tour before, Skjelmose remains committed to improving his performance and achieving success in the upcoming race.
"This season has been a quiet lesson in patience. Not everything breaks with noise, sometimes it just slips out of rhythm. It's been frustrating, yes."
"This isn't the first time things haven't gone to plan and it won't be the last. But being honest about where I stand doesn't make me any less committed."
