"A very importan win"

Samu was naturally all smiles after giving the team it's first win of the season. "It's a very important vitcory, both for me and the team", he said. "The Vuelta al País Vasco is always one of the main goals each year, and I've been preparing for this race since November. The team worked so hard, so it's really good to cap it off with the win. It was a very emotional win, in a stage like this, atop the Arrate, one of our supporters' favourite climb. Great champions have won here and I succeed Contador. I'm proud to win here."
