"The white jersey is not something I believed I could take when the race started this morning, even though I knew it was actually possible. I saw that Gesink had been dropped, and then Taaramae also lost contact on the final climb. So my main rivals were behind me.

“I was selected at the last moment in the team, I was not meant to do the Tour de France but I got a last-minute call-up. Now I think Marc Madiot will not regret that he selected me. I’ll have to try to keep this jersey and, if possible, to move a little in the overall standings.”
