Tadej Pogacar: "I had a relaxing stage"

"It was not an easy day, but the break made it and it turned out to be pretty calm for us. After so much racing, I’m grateful I had a relaxing stage. The heat was the main factor of difficulty, the pace was fast, and the route was long, and up and down. Anyway, it was not the worst day out there. Even if it meant a change for the legs following the high mountains, they responded alright. Tomorrow will be an explosive, difficult stage. I’ve never climbed up Mende, but I’ve watched it on a video and it’s nice. I think it will be an interesting stage, although I’m unsure that it’s a day for GC riders."
