"I thought we were on for the same stage as yesterday but the sprinters team pushed hard very early. Our team asked us to try to get in the breakaway and I got at the front of the race. It was incredible. There's so much people on the roadside… And they are very enthusastic. I hoped we would make it to the finish, you never know, even if those breakaways end up to be overtaken 95% of the time. I felt I was stronger than my companions. That's a pity."
