“It’s a day of happiness in which we’ve worked for the polka dot jersey. Yesterday was a very difficult day, of a lot suffereing, so to be part of the fight again today, with the important selection we got, it wasn’t easy at all. Once the break went, we looked for the goal of the day, which were the KOM points. Further in the race, had I kept some strength, I would have looked for the stage win. It’s been a hard stage today. We spent so much energy from the beginning on and it has cost me a lot to arrive. The polka dot jersey is the goal we have this year and we’ll keep looking at achieving it.”
