“It’s unbelievable. Just to roll down the Champs-Elysées is such a surreal feeling! The Tour de France started up quite slow for me. I thought I was not going to make it but the second half of the race has been incredibly successful for me. It was quite a messy sprint today. I was quite far back. I waited and I just ran out of wheel. I went to the right hand side and I was lucky that I had enough speed at the end. Eight years ago on my first visit to the Champs-Elysées I said I’d win here one day, it’s fantastic that it already happens on my first Tour!”
