“I started the final stage with the ambition of winning it but on the final circuits of the Champs-Elysees, at the end of a long Tour, I was particularly focused on following the wheels of my main rivals in the points classification Zabel and Hunter. It’s not that I didn’t have the power in my legs, but I only thought of reaching the finish. That was all. It is something veryspecial but I cannot really compare this green jersey with a victory in the Classics or with the world championship win. It is, however, a very important conquest for me. It was the reason I came to the Tour and it’s beautiful to realize that objective.”
