"The weather today was really bad - even worse than yesterday. It was super cold, raining all day… I’m sure a lot of guys suffered today. I’m happy to be over it and that there is a rest day tomorrow. I am more worried about the warm stages that are coming than about the cold ones today and yesterday as I suffer more on hot days. [Ben] O’Connor was super strong today - congrats to him! Towards the end of the stage I was scared towards that I might lose the yellow jersey just the day before the rest day... I’m happy to keep it."
