“We had a very interesting race“, he began by saying in an interview when returning to the scenario of the day. “The team kept me in front all day. The finale was eventful, like every year here. But I’ve known about this arrival for a long time, so I knew what to do. Jordi Meeus and Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe also had a very good start and launch for the sprint. I knew I had to be in his wheel in the last few hundred meters. I’m happy to have been able to launch my sprint and take the victory. I can be satisfied. Winning a monument (Milan-San Remo, editor’s note) was the highlight of the season for me. And I’m happy that my form was still there in October and that I was able to win today“, he concluded.
