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.

In the last 300 meters I saw Alejandro start to sprint for the finish line but I just kept going and waited for the 200 meter mark to start mine, ... I never had a doubt about any of the riders in the team. They were great today, especially on the last lap.

This is an emergency situation, a sprint to the finish line.

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,
