“Today we already knew that the wind would affect things and there would be a high pace because the GC guys would hit the front and make the race hard for their rivals. I expected that. When the breakaway went, I thought they might let it go but they rode at a crazy chasing pace instead. The peloton split and luckily I was in a good position. Today was a very hard stage. As for the sprint, I was a little bit boxed in with 450 meters to go. To be honest, I didn’t have good legs. It wasn’t my day. Anyway, it is good I didn’t crash when the sprint got messy.”
