"I’m not surprised, because I know how much work I’ve put in. I knew that this day was gonna come sooner or later, but for sure I wasn’t expecting it 100% on the first Grand Tour. I still can’t believe what I did, but I felt super good. I’m still feeling okay; I’m not tired. I’m just enjoying it at the moment.
Actually, the team, at Bahrain, we are really great. We, the riders, understand each other really well. We’re working so good together, up to perfection. We said it’s like playing playstation. What we want, we do. We go in the breakaways and with Pello [Bilbao], Santi [Buitrago], and other guys, it’s just amazing. I’m really proud.
[Becoming the youngest Slovenian Grand Tour stage winner ahead of Tadej Pogacar] is just a statistic. It doesn’t mean anything else, but it’s a nice statistic."
