Arensman: “unbelievable”

Thymen Arensman (Team DSM): "It’s hard to believe, it really has to sink in. I can’t believe it on the queen stage of the Vuelta. Everybody was talking about this stage. To be honest, I didn’t feel super good during the stage but apparently the others felt the legs even more. When I was alone, I stopped listening the coach Matt Winston on the radio. I only kept thinking I gotta push, push above 400 watts. It was enough and it’s unbelievable. It looked like Marc Soler was waiting for me, and I thought he’s such a great rider, I don’t know if I can take him on. But then I accelerated on a steeper part. He cracked and I was like: 'ok, everybody is really on the limit and maybe I have something left.' It’s unbelievable."
