Wout Poels: "I've saved my legs for the next two days"

"Today I was thinking of going in the break if the possibility arouse, while keeping also an eye on my rivals to follow their moves. In the end none of us went on the break, so I have been able to save up my legs for the next two days. It has been a nice day, despite the bad weather. I hope to win tomorrow. I’m going to get in the break and try to battle up the final climb, also to collect some points for the KOM classification as this summit finish scores double."
