Leopold König was more than elated, of course, after his impressive stage win in the Vuelta, and after the summit finish he expressed his confidence of finishing in the top ten overall.
“I already reached my first goal that I set out as I started the Vuelta," König said. "This is my first Grand Tour. I’ve reached my second goal as I won today’s stage. That was a dream. Everyone at NetApp-Endura puts in a lot of effort in order for me to win. I placed a first attack with 2km to go but Basso and a few more came across. I recovered a little bit and then I set a steady pace when I found myself away again. When I saw Anton ahead of me, I accelerated and gave everything to win the stage. It’s quite surprising. Now that this is done, I can envisage a top ten overall finish as we mentioned before the start of the Vuelta.”
