Liane Lippert won her first stage in the Tour de France on Monday. The German champion turned out to be the fastest in uphill sprint of a thinned out group after a tough stage.
"There was a lot of stress today," Lippert continued. "I fell twice today, but fortunately without consequences. When it started to rain, I was actually quite happy. I immediately thought: I always do well in the rain."
"Still, I didn't think winning today was within my capabilities. My quality is on top with these kinds of arrivals, but then there is Kopecky. I focused on her wheel and got over it. When I crossed the finish line, I really didn't believe it."
The Tour de France is already a success for the Movistar rider, she concludes. "I couldn't wish for more. I have waited a very long time for this."
