Dennis: "Kwiatkowski put a lot of pressure on me"

Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing Team): “Kwiatkowski put on a lot of pressure. Honestly, I was hoping that the times would be a little bit slow, with obviously less stress going into. But, in the end, you cannot do what you can’t do. I just put everything out there and hope for a win. I knew that, basically, the race finished at the top of the hill. From there, you only can lose one or two seconds. I was just thinking about trying to get an stage win at La Vuelta. It is special to win an individual stage here in La Vuelta, specially after what I did in the Giro. It’s nice to get the first stage again and I think, from now on, it would have been pretty though to get the red. Kwiatkowski is flying and he might end up taking the jersey tomorrow.”
