“It has been three fantastic weeks,” said Van Aert, who was also named the winner of the super-combativity award. “It means a lot to me to win the green jersey here. I also wore it in the Vuelta two years ago, but then that crash happened. To abandon that Vuelta was a huge disappointment. That’s why it means even more to be on the podium today. As a team, we can look back on a successful race. We came here for stage wins, and we certainly achieved that goal.”
