Esteban CHAVES (COL/TEAM BIKEEXCHANGE) post-race: “It was a really long way, but I had nothing to lose and everything to win. I was ninth on the GC so there was nothing to lose there, and I just had to try. It was hard because there was a lot of headwind and it was this type climb where you can save a lot of energy on the wheel, but it was a good move, I could stay in front and the legs were really well.The team worked really well to keep me in a really good position, myself, Simon (Yates) and Lucas (Hamilton) and so I tried, I thought why not. It is incredible, it’s like I said yesterday after these hard few months, few years, few months it’s like everything, it’s pay back, and it is a dream to start the season like this. I showed myself I can do it and I just need to keep working, keep believing and keep dreaming.”		share this photo
Furious uphill sprint in the #VoltaCatalunya With 200 meters to go, @rusty_woods got off his @selle_italia saddle and pushed harder on his pedals than he had yet in the stage. It resulted in an impressive second place.
