Giant Shimano's John Degenkolb has said that his third win in this year's Vuelta a Espana was crazy.
Speaking to his team's press office, Degenkolb, who has extended his lead in the points competition said: "The final was really crazy. The key to our success was that we kept calm. It wasn't perfect or how we planned it to go as we lost each other on the narrow roads and roundabouts.
"Finally it was Ramon and I at the front and we rode perfectly. I kept shouting to stay calm and not to panic, and he was great and did a perfect job.
"He was disappointed not to have played a part in the last two wins so it was great for him to play such a big role today. It's nice to see him develop in the team and I'm really happy to get another win like this.
"For the green jersey, we will take it day by day as there are a lot of tough stages coming up where it will be hard to score points."
