tour de france 2010 english version

“It was a big show today! I said I would start this Tour in a good state of preservation, and that I would not be far from my best form. Finally, I took my chances on this stage and I managed to win. This is the happiest day of my sporting life. When I think about it, I realize that this season started with a plague of problems, and yet I never gave up... finally I do not regret having suffered as much, if only to feel such great emotion now. I savor this moment is what I want: it was my day. “I made a mark next to this stage in my mind a long time, and I succeeded. This proves that cycling’s wheel does indeed turn! “Now I have almost three minutes ahead overall! So I think I can go far.”
