“I'm ok. When I attacked I knew it would be a hard race. I started 5.50 behind the breakaway and there were 33 very strong riders. I decided that I'd try to take the group and if I'd do it, I'd try to win the stage. It was like a time trial. I feel sorry for the team that has been extraordinary with [Michael] Gogl, [Jarlinson] Pantano, Bauke [Mollema] who has been impressive. In the last part of Galibier, I paid for this big effort I made on la Croix-de-Fer. It was a long stage in the mountains. To ride a nice stage at the front is always important.”
