Remco Evenepoel: "I stayed focused"

"Overall, it was a comfortable day, but in stages like this, it gets very nervous in the finale. I stayed focused because for riders in the general classification, crashes in sprints are the most stupid thing that can happen. In any case, this stage feels good after two very intense days.

The team's goal today was to win with Tim [Merlier], but he was unlucky, he had a problem in the approach to the finish and had to spend a lot of energy to get back into the peloton. But he has good legs and will have another opportunity tomorrow."
