Wout van Aert: "I knew the flatter part would suit me"

“I’m of course super happy with today’s win. For the green jersey, there many points up for grab today and it was a good opportunity to take more lead over my competitors. I want to thank my team for chasing down the breakaway. It was a really tough climb at the end. I had to fight to stay in wheel of Pogacar and his team mates. I knew it was a bit flatter for the sprint, so it would suit me. It’s something extra to win in the Olympic city, but just winning another Tour de France stage is great.”
