Speaking after today’s race, Sam was thankful for his teammates in helping him get the victory today:
“I was suffering the last few kilometres and I don’t know what it is but people won’t let me follow my own train here, it’s frustrating.
“It was a very hard final (sprint), I didn’t think I’d hold it to the line but the guys did an incredible job and I’m just proud I could finish it off.”
