“The heat made it a difficult day on the saddle even though it was a relatively calm stage. It was nervous as we were approaching the end. I'm disappointed for Marcel Kittel. He's very close again. It's always difficult to win at the Tour de France. It's a fight between the world's best sprinters! Yesterday's stage to Le Lioran was difficult and it will be even more difficult tomorrow with the col d'Aspin. I'm looking forward to the Pyrenees although I know it'll just be harder and harder for me. At some stage, the battle of the top climbers will begin. But for now, I enjoy every day I am in the white jersey.”
