"I'm pretty tired. I gave up in the front group when I had nothing left. I really gave the maximum. But I'm happy with my ride. It was just an extremely hard day and I'm really looking for a rest day. I need it. I'm absolutely exhausted. In the past few years, Sky dictated the race. With this course today, I believe the organizers wanted to spice it up. That's one way to do it, have small roads, technical roads, hard roads to ride… I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It makes for an exciting racing, which is what we do. It is a sport. The peloton is very nervous also, big stakes, it's the Tour de France, maybe a few guys took too many risks but I didn't see much of the crashes."
