"I am very happy to win the national champion's jersey! The route of the race was quite challenging and in order not to fade away on the final laps, I was active from the very beginning. I spent almost the entire race in the breakaway, which was not chased and made it to the finish. I am glad that I contributed to the work in the breakaway group and had enough energy to execute the attack on the final kilometres" — Alexander Vlasov.
