Cycling is a team sport, in which nationality amongst the riders just isn't an important thing. It's nine riders versus about 20 other teams of nine riders. In the end, a Swiss company took the victory home.
Still, it's okay to be proud about a fellow countryman achieving something. I'd probably be proud too had a Dutchman won, but you got to seperate for whom he won, he won for the team and for himself. If you want to win for your country, go ahead, there's the world championships later on in the season.
