“The biggest threat to the green jersey is Petacchi, because he’s the closest on points but of course Cavendish is really fast now – I would say the fastest of us all – but he’s still a few points behind. Still, I expect it to be a big battle until Paris.
“I felt good this morning when they started to go fast. Then, when they attacked for a while there on the climbs, I thought to move up and monitor the important attacks. I was strong enough to follow the right one – at the top of the second climb – and that put me in the escape group.
“I just tried to fight for every point. I’m happy with my 10 points, that’s more than what I dreamed of last night.”
