“We can be proud of our team’s achievement. Without them, it would have been impossible to get three stage wins. We worked together, found each other in the finale to organise the lead out. I’m proud and happy. I was lucky to have Jonas [Rickaert] and Mathieu [van der Poel] with me in the final kilometres. I didn’t have to do any big effort before my final sprint. So far, it’s a dream start of the Tour de France. We will try to go on, looking to Paris also. Mark [Cavendish] was strong. I would have loved to see him win, like everybody. For sure he will keep trying. He is in form and in good condition. From now on, keeping the green jersey all the way to Paris is another goal for me. Yet we will see: for now, we just enjoy the moment.”
