I am happy with my performance today. I just tried my best, so I ought to be happy. It is a shame the GC guys pushed so hard because that took the stage victory out of our reach. We tried because we had to. We had the idea in mind from the start. We wanted the stage win, of course, but the podium was also only two minutes away, so we were chasing it as well. Unfortunately Nairo [Quintana] didn’t feel well from the very beginning because of the crash he had yesterday. We already spoke in the morning about the situation and he had no problem for me to attack.
