I didn’t fight in the mountains for nothing. It’s a fantastic reward. In every difficult moment, I only believed in winning a stage. It might sound strange after the hard time I had uphill yesterday, but I’ve got good legs. Before the Tour, I’ve worked hard on my weak point, which is climbing. Several sprinters aren’t here anymore but I never gave up. The support I got from my team, my family, my wife and the spectators tremendously helped me. I kept faith in my ability to win a stage. My Tour is a successful one now.
