“This morning we watched a video of the finale and we were instructed to be on the right side. It was shorter. Everyone else went on the left, except Nikias Arndt. It was the right moment to go. As he couldn't follow, I went full gas. I didn't want to wait for the sprint. I didn't want to wait for another photo-finish. I made the good decision to go solo. Being so close too many times gave me the confidence that I could win a stage. We were super motivated as a team at the start of the Tour. We were not going to sit and do nothing after Mark Cavendish left us. I'm glad I could cap it off today.”
