The day started pretty badly. Richie [Porte] crashed out and we had to rethink our strategy. The race goes on, so we needed to set new goals as soon as possible. I believed in my sprint. I’m pretty fast myself. Maybe I started sprinting too late. It's a big disappointment. It was a big goal to win with the yellow jersey here in Roubaix. It would have made a nice photo. With the new situation we’re in, I have more freedom and I can maybe try to break away with the yellow jersey on Tuesday. And I still want to win a stage by the end of the Tour de France.
