Matteo Jorgenson set his sights on a top five but came away from the Tour of Flanders more than satisfied with a top 10. After 274km of racing over the unfamiliar and unforgiving terrain of the Flemish Ardennes, he had emptied the tank - got it all out, as they say.
"I swear to you, if the Paterberg was 10 metres long, I would not have been there," Jorgenson said at the finish in Oudendaarde.
