Victory on Volta Catalunya stage 6

It was our goal today to go for the stage win, so the plan was to control the race from the start. I’d like to thank all my BORA-hansgrohe teammates for their effort, they controlled from start to finish. It was a fast and great race today. I came here after Tirreno-Adriatico and Milano-Sanremo without a break and we had six hard stages here at the Volta a Catalunya, so I’m a bit tired. I’m happy with this victory, it’s a good start to the season, especially after what I went through the two months before coming here. It wasn’t an easy period but it looks nice now. We have one last stage tomorrow, a short but fast one, and I think the teams fighting for the GC will control it. We’ll see however how it plays out.

Našim dnešným cieľom bol boj o etapové víťazstvo, takže v pláne sme mali kontrolovať pretek už od štartu. Chcel by som poďakovať všetkým svojim spolujazdcom z tímu BORA-hansgrohe, za ich úsilie, vďaka ktorému sme všetko kontrolovali od začiatku do konca. Dnes to boli rýchle a skvelé preteky. Prišiel som sem po Tirreno-Adriatico a Milano-Sanremo, bez prestávky a na Okolo Katalánska sme mali už šesť ťažkých etáp, takže som trochu unavený. Som však šťastný, že sa mi podarilo vyhrať, je to dobrý impulz do sezóny a najmä po tom, čím som si prešiel pred dvoma mesiacmi. Nebolo to ľahké obdobie, ale teraz to už vyzerá fajn. Zajtra máme poslednú krátku, ale rýchlu etapu a myslím si, že tímy bojujúce o GC to budú mať pod kontrolou. Uvidíme však, ako to dopadne.
