“Flanders is one of my favourite races, 100 percent. I really love this race, since the first time I did it. I have done three editions of the Tour of Flanders, and I have had some really good results there. In my second one, I was in the top 10 and then in my last one I was also really close. I know this course well and I think that it really suits me and it is my big dream to be on the podium of Flanders.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Team Jayco AlUla, Bob Donaldson<\/strong> arrives at the second Monument of the season off the back of a breakthrough top-five finish at In Flanders Fields. He and the rest of the team will be hoping to build on that performance this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is plenty of experience in the line-up with 41 appearances across the whole squad. Luke Durbridge<\/strong> is set to make his 11th Tour of Flanders start while Jasha S\u00fctterlin will ride his 10th. Adding to the vast wealth of knowledge are Dries De Bondt<\/strong>, Luka Mezgec<\/strong>, Kell O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, and Dries De Pooter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The result in In Flanders Field gave me a massive boost in confidence. These races are so hard and the level is so high, so many riders are at such a similarly high level that to do a good result is extremely difficult. To get a result like that gives you confidence that you belong in the bunch and the team as a whole can get a result. You don\u2019t have to be the strongest in the bunch to get a good result. If you can ride smart then you can do really well. I\u2019m really looking forward to Flanders, I love racing in Belgium. Doing a result here, gives me confidence in the future that it can pay off being invested in Belgium.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
