" My team-mates gave me a great gift ".
"The team was incredible today. They didn't do us any favours and it was a long battle. My team-mates were really solid in controlling the attacks and driving. I owe them the final victory; they gave me a great gift. With three kilometers to go, I knew it was all right, so I didn't take too many risks to secure my first place in the overall classification. I'm really happy. I hope that my two victories this week will lead to others and free me up a bit. But it's already taken a weight off, so I'm going to run more freely now."
