Benoît Cosnefroy " Winning twice in one week is a dream ".
"It wasn't an easy race. We had to make the right decisions in the final, and I'm really happy. The team was there today, we didn't make any mistakes. It was more fast-paced than we had imagined this morning, but it worked out for us, so it's perfect. The end of the season usually goes well for me, I manage to stay in shape from Tour France. It's not easy to win as a professional, so to do it twice in one week is a dream come true. I'm enjoying it to the fullest."[/su_quote]
