“It’s really unbelievable. I’ve been 2nd so many times now… It’s my first victory at World Tour level and it means so much. Cycling is really… It’s just so hard to win, in any race. The team has really always believed in me, in the tough times. Today, we made a really good plan. Josh [Tarling] was just incredible over the first climb. And then we had the numbers and it was about playing our cards right. Matteo [Jorgenson] was isolated. And I managed to cross to Mads [Pedersen] and I knew I was probably stronger the climb so I had to use him best as I could on the descent and flat and then go as fast as I could to the top. I did the best I could in GC. I’ve been preparing really well and then I suffered from the cold on the day of La Loge des Gardes. It shows again you can never give up in cycling.”
