Luke Lamperti on opening weekend of the Belgian Classics and chasing marginal gains
Q: What did you learn about sprint decision-making on tricky cobbled courses like Kerna, and how much did wind and barriers influence your approach?
Sprint decisions are dominated by wind direction, barrier positioning, and race dynamics; even when you think you have a good line, the real determining factor is whether the line opens up at the precise moment.

Recovery and smart pacing are crucial; I focus on easy riding after hard days, targeted recovery activities, and keeping the big goals in sight while enjoying other challenges like gravel.
