"The fight for the breakaway took a very long time. Once in the leading group, I felt strengthless because of all the energy it took to make it to the front. I focused on the first two categorized climbs. It was enough for me to take KOM points there. Then I didn’t have the legs anymore for the last climb. As a team, we live this Tour like above a cloud. Everything is wonderful. And I hope to retain the polka dot jersey as long as I can.”
