“I feel relief, more than anything. There’s a lot of stress coming off. I’ve been thinking about this week for the last three months. It’s nice to do it, to know that I did everything I could, and that it worked out. I’m glad it looked like we had things under control. I have to credit my team. I was so well supported this week. We know I would be isolated today without Jonas [Vingegaard] but the rest of the week, I had a very strong team. Every one was committed from day 1.  It feels really really good. I’m so happy to be on this team. And I won Paris-Nice two years in a row, it’s incredible to say that! It was really cool to fight with Magnus Sheffield. We were on the same junior team together, Hot Tubes Cycling. I was really trying to catch him and I’m happy to see him win. He deserves it. It’s really cool. Paris-Nice is turning into an American race! Yesterday and at La Loge des Gardes, I really suffered in the cold, for the first time in my career. Maybe I’m getting too skinny now. It definitely was not an easy week. Every stage presented its challenges. I took every day as a one day race and I’m glad to finish. I’ll let the public decide if Im’ stronger than in 2024.”
