«The team was incredible today. They didn't give us any gifts, it was a long battle. My teammates were really solid in controlling the attacks and riding. I owe them the final victory, they gave me a wonderful gift. Three kilometres from the finish, I knew it was good, I didn't take too many risks to position myself and secure my first place in the overall classification. I'm really happy. I hope that my two victories this week will lead to more and that it will free me up a bit. But it already takes a weight off my shoulders, so I'll be able to ride more freely now.»
