"At the beginning we put Marcato in the break as a strategic move. But then Jumbo-Visma just set the pace all day [and the break was doomed]. It made for a really difficult stage. In the final kilometres I was ready to sprint. I’m so happy I won again. Jumbo-Visma was prepared to smash everything today. From my point of view, it didn’t make sense to attack. I guess Egan Bernal is no longer a rival. As I said, Jumbo-Visma set a really hard pace today and some riders paid for it. At the moment, Roglic seems unstoppable. But today Bernal cracked and maybe one day myself or Primoz will crack too. There are still a lot of opportunities ahead."
