“When we rode away with Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas, we had no breath to talk. All we could say was ‘go, go, go'. We started to go, then we worked together. It was impressive also for me. It just happened. It wasn't planned at all. Yellow jersey and green jersey at the front, it's unbelievable how the breakaway was formed. It was a crazy days with wind and crashes. I don't if it's my best victory at the Tour de France but for sure it's a special one. I've won a lot in a nice way also out of the Tour de France. I'm very happy with the way I won this one with the help of Maciej Bodnar and Team Sky. It was a very nice change that people were working with me, usually nobody does. I thanked Froome after the finish. Despite the big finish there'll be for him tomorrow, he made a big effort today. I would have liked to let Bodnar win the stage but Froome wanted to take a maximum of seconds so I to go for the stage win because that's what we had worked for. Today we're not actors, we're artists! I hope people have fun watching me racing, while I was just suffering doing that.”
