"I've been waiting for this victory for almost a month. We worked together in the training camp, and I'm in good shape now. I was close two times in Mallorca, and now to find the victory was amazing. I'm super happy. Thanks to my team for what they did today. My plan was to come here and win a stage. The plan is not to go for GC but to perhaps win another stage. We've also got Rui Costa here, and we hope he can go for GC."
