Luke Lamperti on opening weekend of the Belgian Classics and chasing marginal gains

The last time we spoke to Luke Lamperti was two years ago, when he was just starting out as a WorldTour neo-pro with Quick-Step. This year, he’s switched to EF and has already racked up some impressive finishes. In fact, Payson ran into him just a day after he got back from snagging two top 10s at opening weekend of the Belgian Classics. Luke sat down with Payson to give the inside scoop on those races, as well as the carnage that was last year’s rider market, where he turns for marginal gains, and which side quest races he’s eyeing this year.
