"It wasn't easy, especially since we hadn't done the last 200 meters of the circuit laps. I did it a bit by feeling, I admit it was a bit too far. I didn't think too much, I was afraid of being surprised. When I passed Pierre Latour, we hadn't crossed the 200 meters yet, but I was launched, we had to go. It was a very good finish for me, I just didn't want to be locked in, but it's true, I started a bit far.
Everything is fine, it's really a pleasure to have these legs, but also this success despite everything, because I don't know if I was as strong last year, but I still had good feelings but no luck. Now 2022 is ahead, it's a great start with two victories already. I have a great Cofidis team, everyone is super involved, I was under a little pressure to finish the job well. I was very focused because I didn't want to miss today to finish the job that was huge."
