Wout Poels: "The polka dot jersey is my goal now"

"It seemed like a stage tailor-made for me, and I wanted to play my chances. The goal today was for me to take as many KOM points as possible, and maybe even the jersey. We also thought of maybe getting the stage win - luckily Dylan did it. All in all, it was an amazing day. We can be really happy about it. Today, I feel like I attacked on almost every climb. I think it probably was a beautiful show to watch on TV. The KOM is going to be a goal for me over the next few weeks. We are going to take it day by day, although we will of course make some calculations."
