"Last night after the stage there was a catastrophic atmosphere but we were quick to respond. After dinner there was a bit of time to reflect everyone was really motivated to do something in the stage today. My father called me and said that we had to try everything and attack on the Col des Saissies. After all, we had nothing to lose. To finish sixth or 26th… it’s the same thing, so why not? _ “Then this morning, Eddy Merckx called and told me the same thing. I’m used to being confident about the advice of The Old Guys so we decided to do it. _ “The basic plan was followed precisely. But I couldn’t know if there would be an escape or not but we dealt with it. Now Floyd is in a really good position and has a big chance to win this race but something else can always happen… even tomorrow.”
