Stage 1: Porrino-Vigo Results
"It's a really good feeling. The stage could not have gone better. The team went great today. I had full confidence and the team drove me great. Everyone did their job. It's really special, I'm happy to be able to finish.
Can I keep the leader's jersey? I have to compete with strong climbers. I'll try, but I don't see myself as a favorite."
