Tejay Van Garderen: "Pinot looked pretty easy"

"It went well today," van Garderen said. "I just had it in my mind that 'this is the last mountain before the end of the Tour, so if you're going to do something you have to do it today.' "
"When I was setting a hard tempo, I would look back and Pinot always looked pretty easy on my wheel," he said. "He has shown many times this tour that he is more explosive than me. So I couldn't really get a gap and couldn't really grind him off my wheel with a tempo because he is so strong."
