Luca Paolini and Alexander Kristoff share a hug before Kristoff heads to the podium ceremony

Alexander Kristoff: “The tactic was for Luca to follow the attacks, and for me to survive. He’s a strong rider who can follow any attack. I’m not strong enough to ride that way, but I can stay in the group. He had to wait a long time for me, before bringing me back. We spoke at the foot of the climb. I just said, ‘I’m here, Luca,’ and he knew what to do. He did a great job for me in the last kilometres and I’m very grateful to him.”

The prestige of victory: “I already have a good position in the team, so that won’t change, but it’s a big victory and a huge step for me. I’ve won a stage in Tour de Suisse, and I have an Olympic medal, but this will stay with me for the rest of my career. I’m just super happy that I have this victory, It’s unbelievable. With the extra climb, it will be much more difficult for the sprinters, including me, but I won’t know until I try it, so I’ll be here next year also.”share this photo
