“Today it went well. I didn't lose any time and Rafal went into the break to snatch victory. The real problem today was the heat. All the bodies are worn out and the heat doesn't help. Tomorrow, it will also be hard in the same conditions,” he said.
“Today, I felt better but the body needs time to fully recover, especially when it's that hot. It's true that the legs were better but it's also a pity I don't have the legs I had last year when they were in great shape. It's going to be a difficult, complicated Tour for me. I'm going to try everyday and we'll see what happens. Froome is better than the rest. We can try things tactically but he's the strongest.”
