Tim Wellens: “I also wanted to make the breakaway today…”

“It was hard for my team-mate Tiesj Benoot to win against a better sprinter than him but he took his chance. If he got the combativity prize, it means he was the strongest of the front group. I also wanted to make the breakaway today but I missed the right one. It’s nice to retain the polka dot jersey. Tomorrow I’ll do my part of work for Caleb Ewan and after the rest day, I’ll resume my quest for the KOM points.”
