Greg Van Avermaet : "Thanks to my team-mates"

"A team time trial is always something special when the whole team makes efforts for the same goal. We are masters in it and I'm happy to be part of it. It was my main goal to win the yellow jersey in the first week. It was incredible when I held it for the first time two years ago and I'm really happy to hold it a second time. For a rider, it's really special. Thanks to my team-mates, I enjoy it very much. The first time you have it,  you see how it s. It's really big. It's a real achievement. It's really important to start the Tour good, we have a good Tour so far. We have still a lot of stages to do. We want to win stage and put Richie on the podium in Paris. We still have a few more goals."
