"I didn’t understand at first that I was the new Yellow Jersey. I’d gone back to the bus, I had a shower and I was ready to go back to the hotel, but someone called to say that I had to go to the podium… I would have liked to take the Yellow Jersey in a different way, but now that we have it we’ll defend it. We’ll take it stage by stage. Tomorrow, on the Mont Aigoual, it will be one hell of a battle”.
