Olav Kooij
"Winning the Tour France is incredible."
“Winning here is incredible. I’m happy to be back at this level and to have confidence in myself. I had great support from the team today, and that’s all I could ask for. Everyone did a great job. The day was easy right up until the finish. I knew the sprint would be chaotic because it’s the first week of Tour, and everyone is still hungry for a win. I managed to find my way through at the end and seize my chance to sprint today. When I saw the finish line, I knew I had it. I’m really going to savor this victory, even though there are still many stages left in this Tour France and we have to keep going and do our best.”
