"I am really trying to fight my way to win the green jersey, giving it my best shot.
Today’s stage went great, as I won the intermediate sprint with a pretty good margin on the second rider and I felt very good from start to finish. I’m very happy with my shape and pretty confident about the next stages.
In my opinion, my main rival in the sprints will be Tim Merlier. As for the points classifications, there are many others like Tadej Pogacar or Mathieu Van der Poel who have a different skillset compared to mine and can stay at the top of the standings by racking up points here and there. In any case, I’ll do my best to bring the green jersey home."
