Groenewegen: "It was so close I couldn't celebrate it on the line!"

Dylan Groenewegen: "I'm really happy. The feeling is so amazing and to do it in the red, white and blue jersey, I said it would be a beautiful picture, but it was so close I couldn't celebrate it on the line! I know my legs are fantastic. Yesterday I was a bit disappointed with myself because the team did a really good job. Today we nailed it again. In the final kilometres, we stayed calm and I found the right moment to go. I don't know exactly what happened, but I was first! Jasper Philipsen was a tough nut to crack today, but we pulled it off in the end. It's really important to us. I love these rough sprints. There are loads of great sprinters this year, it's hard to win and, of course, even harder in the Tour, the biggest race on Earth. And now, Uno-X Mobility and Alpecin-Deceuninck have amazing trains. Almost everyone has a great train. You need to get it down to a T. And I'm mighty proud of what we did."
