“They really made me work for this jersey. We’ve seen so many times at the Tour that when the yellow jersey is on the line, the rider wearing it can be inspired. I’m confident in my ability in the time trial but when it comes to a race like today nothing is a formality. _ “It’s wonderful to win this race and it’s something that I feel is a real honor to do. _ “I’ve said many times that I was pleased to ride alongside a seven-time winner; I was there three times but today gives me a whole new sense of confidence. I honestly can’t find the words to tell you how I feel. _ “I don’t know what comes next. I’ve been consumed by this race but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of things for me to do once it’s all over. _ “To whoever was watching, thanks for the support: hopefully it was exciting for you because it was a bit stressful for me.”
