Father of a second daughter during the night, Tiesj Benoot will still be on the roads towards the Mur de Huy this Wednesday. He spoke before the race at the microphone of Christophe Delstanches.

“The legs are good but I spent the whole night in the hospital so I didn’t sleep much, he said before departure. The ideal racing scenario for me? Let it rain a little and the race will be difficult even if it always comes down to the last climb and it’s the legs that will do the talking.”
