Tobias Lund Andresen: “The preparation we did was perfect”
“It feels amazing to win, I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt this way. It’s unbelievable. The bike is incredibly fast, and my teammates did an exceptional job today. I truly enjoyed this finish. You could say it’s a bit crazy for a sprinter to tackle an arrival like this, but the preparation we did with our sports directors, Mark Renshaw and Luke Roberts, was perfect. It’s not often you can execute a plan so precisely, but today we managed to pull it off. Tomorrow will be a different challenge, but winning the opening stage brings a massive boost of confidence to the entire team, especially to Nicolas Prodhomme and Callum Scotson, who are both in great shape. It is a true honor to wear the leader’s jersey in a WorldTour race like this, and I hope we can keep it within the team.”
