“I was very motivated to chase a good result in this last difficult stage of this Vuelta, which suited me well. I gave everything in the 12 final first uphill kilometers of the first climb to join the strong breakaway. In the final, I absolutely wanted to follow the first group, but it unfortunately wasn’t possible. With my sixth place I probably obtained the best possible result today. It is a nice bonus after my stage victory. Finishing La Vuelta in this way is incredible.”
