April 5/22 15:40 pm - Hugo Houle 4th in Stage 2 of Tour of the Basque Country

Canadian Hugo Houle (Israel - Premier Tech) had a WorldTour career high fourth place in Stage 2 of the Tour of the Basque Country on Tuesday, in a sprint finish won by world champion Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl). Fellow Canadians Mike Woods (Israel - Premier Tech) finished 15th, while Alex cataford (Israel - Premier Tech) was 48th, James Piccoli (Israel - Premier Tech) 92nd and Antoine Duchesne (Groupama - FDJ) 129th; all with the same time as the winner.

Houle told Sportcom, "I'm happy with the way I raced and I have no regrets! Even if I had been stuck in his wheel, I would never have gone around Alaphilippe, because he has a bigger sprint than me. The only small mistake I made was letting the guy from TotalÉnergies (Fabien Doubey, second place) pass at the roundabout."

"I thought it would have been useful to have one more guy in front of me, but in the end it was a mistake. All in all, I'm very happy and it's my best result in a World Tour race, so I'm not going to complain. I'm happy to have managed to take the right wheel in the final where it was still very technical." Quebecers James Piccoli (Israel - Premier Tech) and Antoine Duchesne (Groupama - FDJ) finished 92nd and 129th respectively, at the same time as the winner.

"Remco [Evenepoel] did a great job for Alaphilippe and it's clear that he would go all the way. I'm happy to have managed to take my place behind and it was not easy. I'm satisfied and it was fun to be there at the right time."

"It gives me confidence for the future, it's encouraging and it motivates me. It makes me ride better. Having this assurance that I can keep my place in the final, I am not concerned by riders like Alaphilippe or Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), who wanted to take my wheel."
