“My reservoir is empty after this ride! It was a hard again but fortunately, I had recovered well after my stage win. It was good that we had an easy day yesterday. It was a big effort when I had to close the gap by myself to reach the front group when our breakaway split. I'm happy to keep the yellow jersey and gain some extra time. I've never thought I could win a second stage today. With Nibali, Navarro and Cummings in the front group, it was too hard to beat them. In the climb, I rode at my rhythm. I didn't want to go beyond my limit when Nibali attacked. I just wanted to defend the yellow jersey. Everyone wants this jersey for one day in his life, so to get it for one more day is worth some efforts. It's been a wonderful day again but I'm aware that it can be very hard tomorrow.”
