“Nothing will happen, I really won the Tour. It’s just amazing. Nothing can take it away from me. I always felt that I could fight for success. And when it became clearer to me, I also always told myself that something could happen that was beyond my reach. This time, it’s over, nothing can go wrong, and I’m sitting with my daughter and my wife, and it’s amazing,” the Tour winner said emotionally.
Vingegaard25, second classified in 2021, admitted that he started to have a feeling that he could win after the stage of hautacam, where he prevailed in a solo exhibition.
“I always felt that I could fight for victory, but I think in the end I started to believe that the yellow jersey in Paris was possible, after hautacam“.
A motivational bonus is the fact of the feeling of encouragement of thousands of Danes to attend Elysian Fields to praise his fellow Tour champion.
“It was exciting, many Danes came here to see me arrive in the yellow jersey. I really appreciate it and I have to thank all the Danes who are here and who have been cheering me on for three weeks. It means the world to mine.” he says..
“Of course today I want to celebrate this Tour and rest, but I also want to return to this race, which is the best in the world,” he concluded.
From the top of the podium, surrounded by many Danish fans, the Tour winner thanked the support of his entire team, but especially the Belgian. Wour van Aertwho he said was “the best cyclist in the world”.
“We had a plan and we followed it one hundred percent,” said the cyclist who thanked each of his teammates and Jumbo members.
He remembered that the Tour started in his country and that it gave him “one of the strongest emotions” of his life and he did not forget his wife and daughter, “the two women of (his) life”.
Vingegaard made sure that he began to believe that one day he could win the Tour after the attack he made last year in Tadej Pogacar in Mont Ventoux.
“That attack gave me confidence, it made me feel like I could win the Tour. There were a lot of people who didn’t believe in me, but I held on to that confidence,” he said.
