Greg Van Avermaet: "I hope to stay in yellow in Roubaix"

"Everything is going well. I was hoping for one day in yellow but not as many as this. I am really enjoying it every day. It is something special and it will be great if I can keep it in Roubaix. It will be nice to go onto the cobbles with the yellow jersey and hopefully I get an extra day after tomorrow. It is definitely going to be different with this many cobbles on a Tour de France stage. We’ll ride with six guys to protect Richie Porte and myself to try and stay up there to defend the yellow jersey.”
