"It was a good race, now we are focusing on the next events on the calendar, but for me it wasn't just a preparation race. All races are important and it was important for me to give it my all, for me and for the team."
Regarding his next stop in the calendar, it is still unclear: "I don't know if I'll do the Tour de la Provence. Going back would be special for me because that's where I got my first victory as a professional, but it will be the team who will decide".
