Giant Shimano's Nikias Arndt, has said that he could not believe it when he took his first win of the season on the third stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Speaking about the first WorldTour win of his young career. Arndt said to his team's press office: "I can't believe it, that was unbelievable. The team were just amazing today, everything went just as it should.
"We don't have a real lead-out team here but today the guys showed that if you work well together you can do anything. The communication on the road was spot on - we said go they went, we say right, they went right.
"The plan was to go for Reinardt but he crashed and he wasn't sure how he was. I still led him through the final corner and started my sprint thinking that he would come past but I felt so fast and kept going and in the end I had enough speed to get to the line.
"It's great to be able to pay back the team after their superb work here today and also for me and the team to win here as it is a very important race.
"It is nice to pay back the team as well for their confidence in me. I can see my development from last year and learning from the other guys and working closely with the coaches and trainers is a great way to improve and gain confidence.
"This relieves the pressure for the next stages now and we can look forward to the next days to come."
