First of all I want to say that today's victory is dedicated to my mum! Of course I am very happy for this triumph, because today's stage was very difficult and towards the end, it was pretty dangerous, too! I am certainly thankful to my team co-riders who got me to the front of the peloton and helped me immensely. Today required a tactical performance, in which we succeeded, and in the end I held on at the front. In the last few metres I gave it everything and I'm glad it worked out.
