" A fine collective result

"It was a great race. The team's strategy was perfectly executed, which enabled us to be well placed at the bottom of the last climb. Victor (Lafay) and I were able to make our climb in very good conditions thanks to superb teamwork. I was in good form today and felt good when I attacked. I gave it my all and I'm satisfied with the way I managed my effort in the finish. I wasn't sure about my physical condition, so I'm happy with the result. Even if I would have liked to win, it bodes well for the rest of the weekend."
