“I gave it everything to be in the right place for the final 200 meters and it seems we did enough. I’m happy with that. I was fueled by frustration, anger and the thought of having nothing more to lose. _ “This win rates right up there with the other wins but it’s hard to put one in front of another; they’re all achieved under different circumstances. This one is definitely one of the most special. _ “I you could see on television how much work guys like Wim Vansevenant and Johan van Summeren did trying to bring me back to the peloton after my crash. It took a very long time because, at the moment I crashed, that’s when the race really started going full gas. I don’t think it was any coincidence that they started riding a bit faster when I was off the back but… well, it’s just incredible how much work my team did to bring me back. This is the perfect way to repay them for their effort. _ “I don’t want to think about tomorrow yet. At the moment I’ll just look after my injuries and celebrate this win of course.”
