Milram allows me the chance to pursue races which are very dear to me, such as the Tour de France which wasn't possible at T-Mobile,

I'm of course not so happy that I didn't ride in the Tour de France and that was my first time that I didn't do the Tour for years. So, it was not so good for me not to ride the Tour, but after my broken ankle in the spring, I was good in the rest of the classics. I also hope to be good for the rest of the season and now I'm a little bit like in the Vuelta, or maybe a little bit better. I'm happy.

The sprint was long and difficult, Bennati kept me on my toes all the way to the finish.

A perfect scenario for me would be a mass sprint of 14 or 15 riders.

I've got everything I need here to be happy - a solid team, good riders and a great team manager (Stanga).

I actually have no idea about what can happen on Sunday,
