"It was a tricky race today and I am glad I was able to come out and do it", said Bolton.

"Three years ago on this course, I broke my back so it was really nice to be able to come away with the win.

"I feel like I have a little bit of redemption and to share the final with a couple of German riders on their home turf was nice."
