Egan Bernal (Team Ineos): “The truth is I feel good to be in this position after a hard long stage. We had to be ready from the start for a long day on the saddle and then it was about being super attentive in the final circuit, with lots of ups and downs and an explosive finish. We’ve worked well and I didn’t expect to be in such a good position but it’s a good sign. I’m really happy. It makes me think of last year’s Tour and Van Aert was already very strong. We’re getting closer to the Tour de France and this is a World Tour race, so it’s not about Jumbo-Visma versus Team Ineos. There are many strong teams ready for battle and we need to respect them.”
