"I was tired towards the end but I feel that I'm coming back after my sickness. I am rally happy with this victory that I know means a lot for the team but also for myself", a happy Laurent Jalabert said after the race.

"We tried to control the race today and we were successful at it. It was also obvious that yesterday's hard race (GP Midtbank) made it's mark on the race today. We tried to be ahead all the time and everything worked out as it ought to", said CSC-Tiscali's sports director Alex Pedersen.
