That was great. I always said that Mark is not unbeatable. He's really quick, of course. He's the fastest sprinter in the world, there's no doubt about that but we can beat him. Now I've done just that. It felt like I had a lot of power and it was great today. I knew that this was a perfect finish for Oscar Freire and we are in Spain so of course he was really motivated. I saw the Rabobank guys were really riding for him so I was on his wheel and it was perfect for me because I had better legs. It was perfect. When I saw the profile in the road book, I knew it was a good chance for me. We put a couple of guys up the front of the peloton to ride and try to get back the breakaway. The team did a good job today and I'm really happy with my sprint. My goal was and is - the green jersey. Now I've won a stage and that's another big objective that's been done. Soon we'll be in the mountains and our team has Carlos Sastre who can win the Tour so we have to support him. I'll take it day by day and see what happens with the points for the green jersey.
