Romain Bardet: "My Tour has started"

Romain Bardet (Ag2R-La Mondiale, 4th in the stage): "Yes, it was a good day, very difficult with the heat. We really suffered but fortunately I had three team-mates to bring me drinks and ice and food. I'm glad with my entrance in the Tour. My Tour has started. The more it went up, the better I felt. I really like this kind of hard stages, with a lot of climbs. There's still a long way to go, tomorrow is a finish at the top. There is still a lot of work to do. But I'm coming to the Tour with a lot of experience, and quite laid back. I did everything I can to do the best possible Tour without any negative pressure."
