"Obviously it means a lot to take this iconic yellow jersey in one of the biggest races of the year. Hopefully, it’s not the last time I can wear it this year. It’s a perfect week so far with the team. We motivate each other and it got us another podium. It was a really good course for me. In the previous years, I always had a hard time when you had to change rhythm all the tume, but today I managed to find my rhythm and it resulted in a beautiful victory. The final ascent was really hard. I managed to save a little bit in the downhills and give it all on the climbs. I hope to hand over this jersey to Primoz [Roglic] in the next few days. The harder stages are coming and there are good things to do."
