Pierre Gautherat
"I told myself I was going to win this week and I did".
"I had a little plan in my head today, which was to attack on the last climb. The race got tougher on the climb and I decided to attack at the top despite the headwind. I managed to stay in front in the last kilometer, which is pretty crazy, I can't believe it. Tomorrow, we're going to try and put in a great race with the team to get the best possible overall classification. I'd like to thank them again for today, because they worked really well. I told myself I was going to win this week and I did, so I'm really happy."
