“It was a super hard day, a hard race in the first climb. There wasn’t a breakaway gone before the col d’Aspin. We had a hard time controlling things. It became even harder when UAE decided to go hard, for the stage win I guess. They don’t really have the numbers anymore but they don’t need it apparently. They’re super strong. After today, we know they’ll keep attacking until the last moment. We need to be ready again tomorrow. We have to support Jonas.”
