"Honestly, today was a perfect day for us: the stage win plus more points earned, we couldn't have asked for better. I'm super happy for Jakob [Omrzel], it's well deserved. He's a 20-year-old and has great talent. Personally, I had a bit of a battle with Wout [van Aert] for the first mountain points, but it's fine, I have a bit more of an advantage today."
