Mathieu van der Poel: "It won't be easy tomorrow"

"The stage was ok. It was a very hard start because of the powerful break that tried to forge, but since we caught it back the pace was ok until the finish line. It was a good day for us at Alpecin-Fenix. I did what I could on the lead out. It was unfortunate that my teammates lost my wheel on the last right-turn. I had to wait for them, but luckily we managed to build the train back and launch the sprint in good fashion. And then… well, Cav is the fastest guy out there at the moment. It is incredible. He was not bound to ride - yet he comes and wins two stages. I guess he is back in business! Let’s see what happens tomorrow. Some guys will race thinking of the overall classification, so it won’t be easy to keep the Yellow jersey."
