"We showed some nice things
"It's a mixture of frustration and satisfaction. Frustration because I think that physically I had the victory in my legs, I was really good and I would have liked to go and get it for the team because they did a superb job. I was particularly pleased with Edvald Boasson Hagen's placement during the stage, and Victor, with whom we played well in the final to try and do things, but unfortunately it didn't pay off. I'm a bit inexperienced in sprints, so I got locked in. Even though I managed to get up well, I failed just a few metres back and had to settle for second place. I think the team had what it took to come away with a win, but we still had a great weekend and showed some nice things."
