“Like I’ve been saying for the last few days, I feel really good and I’m comfortable on the climbs. And today everything just felt perfect. I attacked over the first climb, did a good descent and then had an amazing day in the front. I think this is the best day I’ve ever had on the bike.
“Maybe I was making a statement but at least I’ve got more points in case something happens in the coming days and I win the jersey just 10 points, at least I can say that I built a sufficient buffer on this stage to Le Grand Bornand. That’s not the issue. That wasn’t the only reason to attack. I wanted to have fun up there, get some points along the way and be prepared for the Champs-Elysées. I did that and it was an amazing day for me.”
