"Luckily I had Bettiol. He was really strong and was in front which meant I could sit on and save some energy. I almost lost the group a couple of times in the last kilometers, but suddenly it was all back together and I was there.
It's huge. For me, my type of rider, it can't be any bigger than this. This is what I can do, chasing stages and stage races and the Tour de France is just the biggest race. When we entered the runway, I could see that things were coming back together. I saw the podium and a Tour de France sign, and I told myself, 'This one is mine.' I just had to take it, no matter the price. I was able to take it in the sprint."
