"I wanted to go in the break and do everything I could to get the 10 points in the intermediate sprint. If I could do that without Matteo [Jorgenson] scoring, then the jersey was secured no matter the result on the finish line. It’s super nice to win the green jersey. I already wore it a few times in the race but lost it on the last day. Now I can finally say I won the sprinters’ jersey in Paris-Nice. I never thought I could win the stage. I burned so many matches… I knew on the last climb I wouldn’t be able to do it. With this shape, going into next week, with Sanremo and the classics, it’s really nice. Now we just have to stay healthy and keep going."
