Blanka Vas (Team SD Worx – Protime): "It's crazy, I still can't believe it. I don't know what to say! I really didn't expect this today because I felt so bad during the race. Anna [Van der Breggen] said to me "believe in yourself" and then it helped me a lot. My radio was not working so I didn't know what happened in the back but Demi crashed and lost Yellow so it's a shame. Now, I have mixed feelings. I was just in Mischa's [Bredewold] wheel so I was in 2nd position. I did not hear anything so I don't know what happened. In the final, I didn't want to make the same mistake as the Olympics [she finished 4th]. I was suffering so much but I knew if I was in a small group, maybe I can win. Also the Olympics gave me a lot of confidence because I was racing in the front. So now, if I have a good day, I know I can be in the front."
