Thibaut Pinot: “Sagan is the world’s best rider!”

“Physically, I have no consequence from that crash. It happened early but everything after has been difficult. It was very risky. On those roads there wasn't space for everyone. After I crashed, there was no reason to take risks, it was more important to bring Sébastien Reichenbach back in the right group. Peter Sagan is the world's best rider at the moment, far ahead of any of us because he goes well on all the terrains! So he deserves to win today. As for myself, I hope to enjoy riding with the polka dot jersey on the Mont Ventoux. I'll have to remain well positioned before the climb.”
