"We came here to score our first win of the season, and we've done just that. We knew it was going to be a battle, and the team did a fantastic job, enabling us to get through the first difficulty in good time. The race was complicated but the wind, mainly headwind on the climbs, worked in our favor. My team-mates were exceptional and I'd like to thank them for their support. I'm delighted to be able to offer them this victory.
