“I had some bad times a few days ago but I’ve ridden through them and now it’s enjoyable to feel as though that is behind me. There was an early crash and I was caught behind it but I myself was not on the ground. That happens some times when we’re all riding so close to each other. That’s part of cycling.
“Today I felt a little better than I was the other day. There were a few little climbs on the road today and I had good sensations.
“At this moment I’m happy in white. It’s a nice jersey to wear. Of course it gets more important after we’ve had some mountains and I’m looking forward to the mountains – I think a lot of climbers are. We want to see how good we really are and get the chance to test ourselves. For me it’s the same, this was day that we just had to get through and we’ve done that. Good. There were no big problems and I’m feeling better and better.
“Now I’m pretty happy. After the crash I was feeling bad for a few days. You can never say how things are going to develop but now I’m thinking very positive thoughts about the next few days.”
