INSIDE THE BUNCH - Dylan Teuns

CW: What keeps you sane at the moment?

DT: It was mentally quite hard to stop because I was in great shape and building up for the Classics. The first few weeks remained hard, but twice a week I’ve been helping my friend who is a farmer. I have been on the fields driving the tractor. It’s something I do after every season as it’s relaxing and it freshens up my mind. I have also been working on my garden.

CW: How is your current training?

DT: My training has been good during lockdown with a lot of endurance rides. The base is already there from the beginning of lockdown and I picked up the intensity in the last week of May. Recently, I’ve been taking the car to the Ardennes two or three times a week and doing a few harder loops around there.

CW: What will be your goals when the season restarts?

DT: It is a shame for me that the Critérium du Dauphiné and Il Lombardia are at the same time and I don’t know which I will choose to race yet. The Tour de France is important and I want to be part of that selection. Then once I have a Grand Tour in my legs, I will focus on the Worlds, Flèche Wallonne, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Amstel Gold and then Flanders.

CW: Can you be a GC rider in Grand Tours?
