" I already had a plan to attack where I did ".
"After an initial breakaway attempt, I broke away on my own with just over 20 kilometers to go. My plan was to attack where I did, but with one tour go. I was feeling good, so I didn't want to take any risks and I attacked with one tour a half tour to go. The group came back really close with ten kilometers to go, but I believed in myself and gave it everything I had. At the finish, there was also a nice group finish with Valentin (Retailleau) in 7th and Jordan (Labrosse) in 9th. I know the team did a great job to keep me from being caught, and I owe them a big part of my victory!"
