Jesper Hansen of Tinkoff Saxo described his solo victory on the third stage of the Tour Of Norway as a fantastic feeling.
Hansen told his team's press office about his win: “It was indeed a fantastic feeling to cross the line taking my first professional win. It’s a great feeling to be the first on the line and the way I won means a lot to me. I’m really happy and would like to thank the entire team for their effort. They controlled the break and Chris Anker helped me a lot on the final climb.
“Of course, now I’ll do everything in my power to secure the jersey and the overall win. Fortunately, my rivals need more than bonus seconds and with Boasson Hagen 38 seconds from me as second in the GC, I’ll need to pay special attention to him, while the team in general must try to control the events”.
