Stefan Küng: "I got goose bumps on stage"

“It's a little disappointment to not win but Geraint Thomas was the strongest. I was ready for today. I prepared a lot for the Tour since the beginning of the year. The conditions were difficult on a wet city-course like that. I tried my best. It was a bit difficult for Richie Porte because he was in a car following one of our guys who crashed. He was for sure holding a little bit back. But it's better to lose some time here, get through safely instead of ending your Tour here. It's sure these guys are going to do amazing stuff in the next three weeks. Personally, I'm glad to have the white jersey. It gave me goose bumps to be on stage even if it wasn't for the win but my priority in the next three weeks is to keep Richie up there through the first week.”
