"I wanted to run here in Romandie to continue taking the point of form and the result achieved today is proof that the work done during the week of the classic has been very important in that light.
We have been fortunate that, despite the rain that fell steadily since we arrived in Switzerland yesterday until this morning, was interrupted when he started the race.
The trip, all flat and only 3.1 km was more a matter of specialists, but I had good sensations, which allowed me to accomplish this small feat.
