"I simply didn't have the legs. There's no excuse to look for. It's three times that I arrive in the Pyrenees and that I lose ground. That's it. I find myself with the same sensations as in the Dauphine. I'm not 100 pc and in the Tour, you have to be 100 pc. Of course, it's a waste. It's a season that almost goes to crumbs. The Tour is the highlight of the season and from the first mountain stage, the objective is over. It is not a matter of preparation. We looked to reach our peak for the Ventoux, but we're not machines. To program a peak it's more easily said than done. We'll see tomorrow. If it's like today, there won't be any surprise. After two kilometers I realized I was not at my best."
