“Roman Feillu and Heinrich Haussler passed me in the last in the last few meters and that means I lost a few more points from what would have been ideal today. Now I have to start paying closer attention to [Mark] Cavendish. If we arrive in Digne-les-Bains tomorrow with another sprint, he can win again. Also in Paris, it’s perfect for him. We’ll see, the green jersey is not mine yet. I have to get some points for the finish. If I lose one day, you can lose everything. _ “I’m not very happy with myself because I don’t feel really good in the sprint. Last year I was much better than now. Also at the beginning of the season I was much better in the sprint. And this morning I just didn’t feel good. Sometimes you don’t have the right condition when you want it. I felt before the Tour de France that I was not really good. _ “Normally I am very regular but not this month. My tactic now is to stay there every day and while I might not get the victory, I must make sure I’m present at the finish.”
