"I expected Tadej Pogacar to attack today, just as I am expecting him to attack over the next couple of weeks. I am lucky to be supported by a team that is probably the best one of this Tour de France, as was proven yesterday and also today. My confidence on my team is very big. But, eventually, it will come down to man against man with Tadej Pogacar… and that day I will have to be strong enough to win this race. I had enough legs as to follow Tadej’s attack on the final climb, but I didn’t know if I was strong enough to power away and I didn’t want to make myself vulnerable. What if I tried to attack, and then he counterattacked and drop me? It was not easy to fall asleep on a day like yesterday. As for today, it was a hard day, with many climbing meters… But also a nice one because of the amount of support I got from the crowds. It felt as if there were a lot of Danish fans out there!"
