"I wasn’t really concerned about Guillaume Martin. We now we can’t allow him too big a time gain because he is super strong, but four minutes is still a good gap for me on him. Now it’s other teams who need to chase him, and that is going to be very useful in the coming days. I think we are in a better position now than we were before the stage. I feel super good on the bike. I have enjoyed every moment of the race today. I’m happy that none of my teammates has really struggled today - just Vegard [Stake Laengen], who punctured at a bad time at the start. All my teammates are strong - especially Rafal [Majka], who was very impressive after the hard crash he suffered yesterday. I’ve checked the Andorra stage, although I don’t know by heart some of the roads. It’s going to be hard, for sure, but I have good feelings coming into tomorrow. I will ride defensively tomorrow, because my first goal is to defend the yellow jersey… But, if an opportunity comes, I will try to grab it."
