"My legs were really good today and the team did an amazing job to protect me, grab some ice, give me water… When there were the first attacks on the second last climb, I followed and decided to try something. I paced myself, they caught me but I was feeling confident. I tried to recover as much as I could and I gave it my best on the last climb. I’m super happy with the performance. UAE went all out from the bottom. I paced myself with Remco [Evenepoel] and then I gave it a shot, I opened a gap and I went all the way to the finish. There are two more really hard days but for sure I will fight for the white jersey. Tomorrow’s climbs are really long and normally that suits me quite well. I expect a super hard start and some racing full gas until the end."
