Yet the German, who leads Chris Froome by 12 seconds overall and Tejay Van Garderen by 25 seconds, is intent on keeping the Tour lead a little bit longer.
" My ambition now is to keep the jersey as long as possible. I'm convinced that I can normally keep it until the first rest day. Another goal was be to be able to help Mark (Cavendish) win a stage," he said.
