The sprint finish in full flight in Sanremo		share this photo
Sprint finish as usual in Sanremo despite shortening the flat finish on Via Roma; John Degenkolb (Giant - Alpecin) came around last year's winner, Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) for the win, 3rd Michael Matthews (Orica GreenEdge), 5th Niccolo Bonifazio (Lampre - Merida), 7th Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing). Peter Sagan's bike throw on the right gave him 4th.		share this photo
The final sprint: “It was pure emotion. For a moment I couldn’t believe it. 50m before the line I definitely thought I would not be able to beat Alex [Kristoff] in the sprint because he started really fast. But I kept believing in myself. There was still a difference in power and speed, but just before the line he died and I came across first. It was pure emotion, and I thought about last year, when I had tears in my eyes because I had the biggest disappointment in cycling in my life [NDR: he finished 39th at 1’54”]. This year I had tears in my eyes because I had won. It’s cool.”		share this photo

Not invisible now. Staying invisible until Via Roma: “That’s the magic, I would say. This race is really special. You start in Milan and already in the neutral zone, so many guys are nervous. Then you have a lot of traffic islands and railways and cobblestones. The most important is to relax, stay calm, save your legs, save your legs, and save your legs until the Via Aurelia. You have to have a good position: not too far to the front, and not too from at the back. You have to find the balance. We did it really well today. The team really positioned me perfectly and I’m really proud of them.”		share this photo

An amazing year: “2 January changed my whole life [John and his wife Laura became the proud parents of Leo Robert Degenkolb] and made my life complete, and it’s great to have a real family now at home. I just had my wife on the phone and my son was sleeping when we had the finishing sprint. Maybe that was also something good. We will see what comes next. I have really hard four weeks in front of me, but I’m mentally ready for it and my shape is good. We will do everything from race to race to get good results.”		share this photo
Your 2015 Milan-San Remo podium: 2nd Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), 1st John Degenkolb (Giant - Alpecin), 3rd Michael Matthews (Orica GreenEdge)		share this photo
Not among the favourites: “Absolutely, I really believe that this was not a disadvantage for me. I prepared really well in the winter and I came into form according to plan. Even though last week was not as successful as a last year in Paris - Nice, we didn’t panic or go crazy just because we didn’t win a stage. It’s still cycling and racing and anything can happen. I felt my shape was good and I kept on preparing 100% for Milano - Sanremo. We arrived on Thursday and on Friday I did a long ride. I’ve done the same over the past three years, but this year I was able to finish it off.”		share this photo

Experience: “Experience is very important. It took me four years to gain the necessary experience. Of course you can talk to people and get their advice, but I believe you have to do it yourself, and also mature because of disappointments, like mine last year.”		share this photo
