Lutsenko:
About the race: ,,It was difficult from the start. I suffered a lot. Our team’s tactic was to control the race and wait. The team did a great job in the last lap. They kept the pack together and me in the front. The Cauberg was very hard though, I lost a lot of positions but managed to get back. Then I just went as fast as humanly possible.”
About the future: ,,I’ve been in great shape all year. Won a stage in the Tour de l’Avenir and a couple of races in Italy. So I was able to sign a contract with the Astana-pro team about a month ago. Next year I’ll try and win my first elite-race. Am I the new Vinokourov? Everything is possible. If I work real hard I think good results as a professional are possible.”
