“We went into the day not really sure what would happen. The first priority was to defend our place in GC. At the bottom of the last climb, they told me if I survived, I could sprint, but I missed 500 metres. It’s frustrating but when you don’t have the legs, what can you do?

I’m a bit at Vingegaard’s mercy with this jersey. But Georg [Steinhauser] is in the white, and we also heard on the radio Michael Valgren won [in Tirreno Adriatico], so for the team it’s a super nice week. We’ll race full gas, we have nothing to lose.”
