He admitted that “this morning I was very nervous. I didn’t sleep well last night. You know what awaits you and in the end it’s a very difficult stage. I’m very happy to win La Vuelta. Today I responded with my legs. I don’t think at any time to win the stage, all I want is the general. I just have to continue, control and trust my strength. In the end, the race was very difficult, but we were very good. . Yes, it’s the best day of my life. It’s been an amazing year. Win a Monument (Liège-Bastogne-Liège), win again San Sebastianwinning two stages and the general and then getting married this winter… I think this is the best year I have ever imagined and wished for”.
