Geraint Thomas: "It's insane"

Honestly I am speechless. It's insane. here was not a chance I would win today. Kruijswijk put a hell of a lot pressure on us, we were struggling. [In the final climb], I was following Froome. Froome attacked. I went back by myself. This is just unbelievable. I couldn’t see this happening. I just tried to follow Dumoulin. I knew I had to be the first on the last corner if I wanted to win the stage, so I got around Landa and then sprinted out of the saddle with everything I had. It was after some second that I realised I was winning. Maybe I can keep the yellow jersey for the next few days. But this race is so hard, you never know for sure. I am still riding for Froome, he is the man. I don’t know how I will do over three weeks.
