"It was a really long day and the race was super hard. The guys did a perfect job for me, setting a high place: I am not super explosive, so we knew that if we set a hard pace, we had a chance to obtain a top result. On the last lap we went full gas, that was perfect, I went super fast in the climb and Sivakov was still there, so he obviously had good legs and good condition. I thought maybe I could be a little quicker in the sprint and that's how it went. I've been trying to win this race for years. I was second in 2015, a long time ago, good memories, but today I succeeded to win."
-Adam Yates. Record 49th win of the season for UAE Team Emirates.
