“We are down to six riders, but everyone stayed motivated and gave 110% to replace the two missing riders so I could win. Because we knew I could win today. With one kilometre to go, I was too far behind and I took the risk of going even more backwards to find a good wheel. I think I rode close to the barriers but luckily I got through. My first victories last year were very special but this is the Tour de France. It’s the biggest race in the world and I’m still super happy to win. I hope for more wins to come, this year and beyond.”
