Gianni Meersman (Etixx-Quickstep) - Vuelta a Espana stage 5 winner
I was extremely happy with the first victory and it gave me a lot of confidence. I started today with zero stress, everything was good but the leadout that Stybar did was incredible and then I saw the sign for 200 and I knew that if I didn’t start then the other guys would come from behind. I would rather do my own sprint and then they pass me then get boxed in. In the end, they didn’t pass me.
It was quite nervous, I think that some places behind me there was a crash. I hope the guys that crashed are ok.

In the breakaway there was just two guys but still Machado was going really fast. You could see that the bunch was lined out for most of the time and for maybe the last 60km Martin Velits was also pulling very hard. Then we closed it to just over a minute and it was getting really chaotic with all the turns and there were some crashes. We managed and it was a strong sprint and we can celebrate again.
Were you worried about some of the attacks?
