"The first two days after the Olympics, I could not really sleep because at one point I was waiting for the victory with Marianne [Vos], and then I came home without a medal."
"So it was hard but I tried to remember the good things because I was racing for victory and with the strongest rider. So on the other hand, it gave me a lot of confidence and I think it helped me for this Tour de France victory."
"I was very, very tired but I reminded myself that I can do it and the Olympics was in my head, which just gave me a lot of energy and trust."
