Naesen: "I hoped we would make it"

"I thought we were on for the same stage as yesterday but the sprinters team pushed hard very early. Our team asked us to try to get in the breakaway and I got at the front of the race. It was incredible. There's so much people on the roadside… And they are very enthusastic. I hoped we would make it to the finish, you never know, even if those breakaways end up to be overtaken 95% of the time. I felt I was stronger than my companions. That's a pity."
