Winner Niels, from the Netherlands, says he enjoyed the race.
“It was way better than I thought it was. I was so locked in up that hill. The adrenaline was so high. When the adrenaline is there, it’s fun. And we did it.
“What I thought happened, happened. All the guys were going crazy fast in the beginning but they were beginning to fall in the middle. I knew it was going to happen.
“But if you try to stay, and lean back and step at the last point and just go, you will win it,” he says.
“I’m going to bring it home. I’m going to taste it actually. It belongs to the Netherlands,” Niels adds.
Asked if he will return to defend his title, he says yes.
