"Of course it was hard today but I rode well yesterday and made a difference. That's the Tour. I didn't crack. As I said, I had a small problem with Pinot and I could not receive assistance the way I needed and as there was a long stretch on the flat, it was hard. Nibali is the strongest for sure. He's the strongest but others are very close. Yes, my rivals for the podium are Pinot, Bardet but also Van Garderen."
