"It was hectic because I always had one rider in front of me until I caught Hirschi, and I needed to try one last kick to try to go solo. Otherwise, it would be more difficult to win, so I tried to mentally focus on doing one more kick again.
This year so far has been better than we expected as a team, and for myself, of course. You have your own pressure and you want to always be better and always be professional, but this year was super good from the start, so I don't know what to say. It is just incredible. I know this is not normal, but it is just unbelievable for me."
