Rasmus Tiller booked his second victory of the season at the Tour of Britain on Saturday afternoon. In the final, his team Uno-X brought attacking Wout van Aert back and allowed Tiller to unleash his fast legs in a reduced sprint.
"I feel very good," Tiller continues. "The last few days it was all about sprinting, so we had to wait until today's stage. The course suited us well and I am happy with the victory. Tobias and Van Aert took off on the climb, but I didn't have the strength to follow them. Fortunately I was able to come back."

"In the sprint it was ultimately about tactics. We knew we had to do something and we did it. It was a difficult day with those two climbs and a breakaway that was still far ahead. Jumbo had to do something because the other teams did not want to help."
Tiller expects that it will be more for his teammate Johannessen in the final stage on Sunday. "I'm going to try to follow, but the stage is a lot harder. I will mainly pace myself," he ends.
