"In the final, it was a bit stressful on two small roads with some sharp corners but we managed to stay in a good position together. Into the last kilometres, we were four guys and I knew we were lacking a little bit of firepower against Ineos who didn’t pull during the stage and have a lot of strong guys," said Kristoff as he described the run for home.
"So I was looking for Viviani in the last kilometre and I knew he had the strongest lead-out so then I started my sprint a bit earlier than him to take him by surprise and luckily I was strong enough to hold it all the way and no one came around. It was a big headwind but I still I managed to do it."
"I didn’t feel good today actually, I’ve been struggling with some sickness, a small cold so we didn’t really want to work today; now I have a victory, last year I was always second so I’m already happy with that."
