Lenny Martinez: "Just incredible!"

"Today was just incredible! The whole team did a great job. On the last climb, I knew I wanted to launch with 150 metres to go. There were three of us, I told myself that I had to go all out, and when I looked back and saw the difference, I thought to myself: ‘That's incredible!’ And raising my arms was a great moment. Yesterday, I was a little disappointed to come fourth. I thought that by being in Joao Almeida's wheel, I could have done better. I told myself that I had to give it my all... I did everything I could with the team and it went really well. Unfortunately, we lost Santiago [Buitrago] yesterday after he fell. The team told me that I was the leader and I wanted to do well and not let them down. It's off to a good start! I'm going to try and give it my all this weekend. But I'd rather win a stage than finish in the top 10 overall. It's a box ticked. It's been a long time since I won. It's an incredible feeling to win here, in Paris-Nice with my new team. It's the greatest victory of my career. To win in Paris-Nice, I didn't think that was possible. It's a major race with a very high level."
