"I felt good today, I recovered well from yesterday's time trial and I was happy with my legs. I'm improving day by day. It's positive. At the end, you had to be very careful and the team positioned me very well so that I wasn't caught out. Overall, we saved some energy today, and it was perfect that there was a breakaway at the front.
Tomorrow's finish is quite unusual, so we'll see, but I don't think it's that steep, and Mathieu Van der Poel will also be in contention. But of course, if my legs are there, why not give it a go?"
