“I don’t think I’m getting stronger, rather I’m just maintaining my rhythm and keep calm in my head and, together with my good form, it is all coming together well. I’m a little bit surprised about this time trial. I have never concentrated on the Tour as much as I have this year. My preparation has gone well. I didn’t get sick. I had a great Tour de Suisse and now I think I have to keep on going to hold this form. We’re going to see what happens in the coming days. _ “I hadn’t thought too much about the general classification before today because I was still two minutes behind and it’s very hard to get back this time. And, actually, the time trial was pretty hard and I’m just pleased to have done well and put myself in the position I’m now in.”
