Jens Debusschere: “Belgians at B&B Hotels should have done better” | Cycling

In the off-season B&B Hotels-Vital Concept strengthened its Belgian spring core with Jens Debusschere and Frederik Backaert, but the green brigade, including Kris Boeckmans and Bert De Backer, was unable to break many pots.

“I think they expected more from the classics”, Debusschere is honest at Sporza. “Mine too. But we had quite a lot of setbacks, with flat tires at the wrong time. Still Backaert, De Backer and I should have done better.”

“If we could have been in the picture a few times, the evaluation might have been different. But unfortunately that did not happen.”

“I think they expected more from it all along the line in the team, although it was not disastrous now. We won a few times, not everyone can say that. And we did not have a bad Tour, we and have been in the picture, including a 2nd and 3rd place. “

“The future of the team is therefore not in danger. They have already made a few good transfers, from riders who can take points in the Coupe de France and the Europe Tour. We should be able to score better there next year.”
