Tom Boonen is gathering all the Belgian attention ahead of tomorrow’s Worlds road race, but should it become a very hard race, Greg Van Avermaet says he can benefit and add a World title to his Olympic title in Qatar.
"I never said I had no chance at these Worlds, but I did say it was not the perfect course for me," Van Avermaet said. "I've been here to Qatar a few times and with the echelons, it's perfect for Classics riders. For sure I have a chance, but I couldn't say I was a big favourite for this one."
The BMC rider admits he no longer feels in top condition after a long season, but is hopeful he can contest the final and says he can still win the race.
"I'll see if I have some freshness on Sunday and see how my legs respond. I also feel like I'm not on top shape but I'm there in every race still. So we'll see on Sunday. I think I have a chance to be up there in the final and maybe even win the race."
