“I’ve been chasing this win for a few years now. I’ve come close a lot and to finally get it is a huge relief. We won yesterday and that was already incredible – it was already a dream come true, just to stand on the Tour podium – but to do it again today… I just can’t even comprehend it.
“I think we showed that we also have a strong train. First there is Dave Millar and then Thor and then Julian and then myself – it’s been a work in progress since 2009 for us and it’s just getting better and better.
“The team time trial was something special, a victory for the entire team but to win a sprint… ah, it’s been a dream since I was a child and it’s finally come true. It’s incredible for me – I had the world champion who is wearing the maillot jaune leading out the sprint for me. It’s not a common sight but when you have that happening you have to do a good sprint. And to win on the Fourth of July is just another sign of how well it’s all come together today.
“This one is for Wouter. It’s been a big loss. It’s been a rough few months for me since… but I wanted to be good here in the Tour and try to do something to remember him and so I’m happy that was able to do it.”
