Felix Gall
"I feel like I'm reaching a new milestone every year."
“The main goal for the year was to make it onto the podium at a Grand Tour. The Giro went very well, and I’d already managed to achieve that there. I was hoping to do the same at the Vuelta, and I was able to repeat that performance. I had a really strong team, and their dedication was incredible over those three weeks. When you’re fighting for a podium finish, everyone has to make sacrifices and give 100% toward that goal. That’s exactly what happened over the past three weeks, and I’m extremely grateful for it. I’ve been with the team for five years now, and I feel like I’m taking things to the next level every year—it’s truly rewarding. It’s also wonderful to be able to stand on the podium together as a team and share this moment with my teammates.”

"A real sense of satisfaction after three intense weeks"
“When we set out from Monaco, our top priority was to secure a spot on the podium. Tonight, Felix Gall finished 3rd in the overall standings: that’s a real source of satisfaction after three intense weeks. The overall level of competition was very high, with Enric Mas a strong winner and Primož Roglič particularly formidable. We have no major regrets. We raced smartly, even though the stage victory—our second goal—eluded us. It’s always challenging to pursue both objectives at the same time. The victory in the team classification underscores the team’s cohesion and remarkable level of performance, particularly in the mountains. Despite the withdrawals of Gregor, Jordan, and Matthew, our five re riders s still in the race—Callum, Felix, Léo, Sander, and Oscar, who is completing his first Grand Tour and will have the chance to stand on the podium—wrap up this Vuelta on a particularly positive note.”
