"It was a tough one and the team was fantastic today. The big, strong guys did a perfect TTT. Obviously, it hasn't been nice to lose 51 seconds on the first day. But for the moment I just want to think about the moment of riding with these guys. It's a great feeling. It's always nice to have the yell jersey in the bus in the morning. And its not finished. Greg can win stages 5, 6 and 9, its not over now. Losing 51 seconds is never nice but it's not as bad as a year ago when I was lying in a ditch at that time. So look you have to make to Paris to be up there and thankfully some of the other GC guys did exactly the same."
