Hildegunn Hovdenak: “This year we’ve had better weather and I’ve been able to enjoy the victory. Today was super hard and I was able to win the general classification; I’m really happy with this. I think that the first day went OK and the second was good but I made a big mistake on the road and I lost a lot of time because of this. I used a lot of power on the third day; that was super hard for me. The last two days went well — the route was really good but I have a bit of a cold so now it’s time to rest."
