It was a dream to wear my Irish national champions jersey during this years Tour de France but I never could have imagined winning on the Champs-Élysées too! I always wanted to represent this jersey as best I could and in my own way.

Yesterday was really a dream come true and to win on the Champs Élysées with
@deceuninck_qst
in the maillot vert was definitely part of that dream.
Can't thank Julian, Bob, Tim, Dries, Kasper, Remi and Michael enough.

4th place wasn't the outcome we were hoping for. A little bit of misjudgement on my part in the final. I was feeling good so I can take a lot of confidence from this. Big thanks to the

1st of all congratulations to
@alvaro_hodeg
!Super sprint!
Secondly, I'd love to know the thought process behind those barriers before 200m to go!This sport is dangerous enough, we race above 60kmh in a final like this. It is not acceptable!
@cpacycling
time show your presence
So sad to hear about the loss of Craig Breen. Such a top guy and I was lucky enough to message with him from time to time. We always said we’d have to meet up but sadly, we just never got round to it. He flew the Irish flag with pride and he’s gone far too soon. RIP Craig.
Pleasantly surprised with the legs this week. But with the way the
@BORAhansgrohe
guys are riding it makes my job easier. Delighted we got 1st and 2nd today!
