“I didn’t expect to drop them because they were really strong. On the last lap, I just closed my eyes on the climb. I looked back, there was nobody, and I kept going. I am super happy to wear this jersey close to my hometown. It’s going to be a year full of emotion with this jersey around the world and especially starting next week in Florence for the Grand Depart of the Tour de France.
