2025-06-10T15:03:49.164Z<\/p>\n

Here’s what Romeo said after his win.<\/p>\n

“I don’t believe it. I don’t know what to say, honestly, I think it was one of the toughest days of my life so far.<\/p>\n

“The breakaway, it was so hard to get into it, and I wasn’t feeling really good. I had to tell the car I needed to take the risk and not be very active, so I waited to the last moment. I know in this kind of flat final in a small break, I have good instinct and that if they give me some seconds, I can make it.<\/p>\n

“I knew the final. I had this stage on my mind for one month. We’ve been doing altitude at Sierra Nevada, working super hard with all the team, and they gave me this chance at the beginning of the week, so to be able to pull it off like this.”<\/p>\n

2025-06-10T14:56:58.835Z<\/p>\n

Romeo is the first Spaniard to lead the race since Alberto Contador in 2016.<\/p>\n
