Herrada: “We’ll savour this win”

Jesus Herrada (Cofidis): "It’s crazy! Into the last 3km, the gaps made it clear we would make it. I had to be patient in the last km, following wheels. I knew there were fast men in the group but I trusted my sprint. We fought until the line and I could make it. It’s very important. It was hard to open up a significant gap for the breakaway. We had to go hard on the climb. We worked well together and it was about giving it all until the end. We knew the finale and the wind could play in our favour. After Marc [Soler]’s victory, Spain takes a second stage win. We’re happy. Tomorrow will be very hard but we’ll savour this win."
