"Finally, I've got a Grand tour stage victory! It's a great continuation of my best season so far. I am happy that after a disappointing Tour de France I've managed to get my form back here at the Vuelta. It was our plan to go in a breakaway together with Luis Leon. Actually, I tried also yesterday, but it did not work out. Now, everything was perfect. In the morning we were talking about two options for this stage-to try to go in a break for the stage, but if it wouldn't work our, to stay in front and to help Miguel Angel on the final climb."
"I have a great feeling right now with this success, which confirms I am on the right way for the Worlds and the final part of the season. We still have the most important goal here-to help Miguel Angel Lopez to reach the podium and I am ready to help him with all my forces."

"Today was a really hard stage with a lot of people trying to get time on the general classification. I want to get into the top 10. It won't be easy. The riders here are very strong."

“That’s the beauty of having a season like I have. Anything at this point is gravy and that’s often the best mindset to get a good result. I am here this year for results and not experience. I can compete against the best in the world and the best in the world are in my backyard, they came to me.”
