Jay Vine describes his victory in Tour Down Under - "It's incredible to be here in this jersey, This is first class"

In the short time since the new season began, Jay Vine has already secured two victories, one in the ITT National championship and the other in the Tour Down Under.

“It was very hectic from the start. We wanted the breakaway to go as quickly as possible, but it took a very long time before it finally left. But the attacks kept coming,” Vine said after the race.

The race ended with a sprint between Vine and Simon Yates, though Yates finished first, Vine's overall lead secured him the ochre jersey."It's incredible to be here in this jersey. This is first class.”

He has dedicated his victory to his team and once again thanked them for their efforts. Today is a day of celebration for him and his team, but he will soon be back on the bike training for his next race, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race .“The guys were really great, everyone kept their cool. In addition, we received clear instructions from the car all the time, which helped us a lot. I thank them for that. Maybe two drinks, it won't be more than that," concluded the Australian rider.
