Richie Porte: "Proud to have been the last by his side"

“It was unbelievably hard. Chris was not at his best today but it's nice to see Thibaut win. It's a great day for French cycling as well. The last three weeks were very hard, we had to defend the jersey for 18 days. Movistar tried everything today but to finish this way is just fantastic. Chris is a good friend for me, I was fighting so hard. I'm proud to have been the last man to fight by his side.”
