"It has been a beautiful day for the team. We are super happy to commit like we have done today. We went real hard throughout today, and I think I pushed maybe too hard at some point! Anyway, the final result is that today’s mission is complete. The team has done an incredible race today.
I’m super happy I have been able to reach this level. It’s been quite special to be near the top riders all the way to the finish. Actually, the race went a bit better than expected for me. I’m proud and happy I have been able to do a performance like this one already in my first Tour de France, and I’m also happy that Tadej has been able to prove how strong he is."
