Benoît Cosnefroy " Winning twice in one week is a dream ".
"It was not an easy race. We had to make the right decisions in the final, I am really happy. The team was there today, we didn't make any mistakes. It was more rhythmic than the scenario we had imagined this morning, but it worked for us so it's perfect. The end of the season usually goes well for me, I manage to keep the form of the Tour de France. It's not easy to win in the pros, so to do it twice in one week is a dream. I'm enjoying it very much."[/su_quote]
