“I had planned to break away and stay away as long as possible. To have climbed half of the Tourmalet alone in the lead is more than I hoped for. It’s been a pleasure and it motivates me even more for the remaining of the Tour de France. Today’s triumph of Pinot and Alaphilippe is very good for French cycling.”
