Dimitri Champion - "It would be difficult..."

“We knew pretty quickly that it would be very difficult to follow through. So we essentially decided to work on the move but also to preserve our energy for the coming days. It would not have been practical for give us 100 per cent. So we rode tempo and then, in the last 30 kilometers, we accelerated figuring that something could always happen – a fall or some other event that disrupts the proceedings. But I think out little group has been doomed even early in the stages… still we played our cards and did what we could.”
