Egan Bernal: "Tomorrow is a day to make differences"

“Finally there weren’t attacks among the favourites. Most of us were thinking all day about the time bonus up for grabs [at the bonus point of Suc au Muy]. Others went to catch the escapees and we, the GC riders, could be quieter. We haven’t stopped all day. Bora-Hansgrohe pulled very strongly and made the race very hard. I think this stage will be felt in the legs in the coming days. Tomorrow I believe it’ll be a day to make differences, for sure. It’s a stage with a lot of elevation gain. It’s long as well, with almost 200km, and it comes after a 220km long stage. It’ll be more demanding than today with an explosive finale to finish. We’ve recced the stage and the last kilometres are very steep. We’ll have to approach them in the best position possible because there’ll be differences.”
