“Honestly, I think it’s really still sinking in,” says the Giro d’Italia champion. “What a huge moment in my career, the defining moment maybe. Just incredibly proud of the whole team over three weeks, and of course, Olaf just finished it off. So an amazing, amazing three weeks.
“Actually we didn’t have much of a turnaround last night, already on the plane here to Rome. It’s been a quick turnaround. We kept the focus, we knew we had a chance with Olaf today, and he pulled it off.
“I mean … it’s for sure the defining moment of my career, there’s no doubt about that. I’ve had some good successes but I don’t think anything comes close. I will celebrate for sure, and we’ll see what’s to come.”
