It wasn’t really the plan, I attacked on instinct. I knew Froome could follow wheels and I could sit on Dumoulin’s. This is one of the best stages of my career, without a doubt. I’ll enjoy the day in yellow tomorrow. To climb the iconic L’Alpe d’Huez in the yellow jersey is massive. The leader of the team remains Chris Froome. He has won six Grand Tours whereas performing for three weeks is an unknown for me. Whatever happens from now on, it’ll be a successful Tour de France for me. I’d like to keep the yellow jersey for a few more days. I’d also like to make the final podium but the priority remains to win the race and Chris is our best card for that.
