“I think that from today we’ll see plenty of breakaways succeeding. This is the first very hot day and, in my case, I was suffering a lot because the first category climb was really hard. There were also points for the 20 first riders so I tried to get some points at the finish. I lost some of my advantage over [Thor] Hushovd but there is still a long way to go. I hope to be better tomorrow. _ “I don’t think it’ll be a bunch finish tomorrow in Narbonne because it’s really difficult to control the race now. Everybody wants to be in the break and nobody wants to control once it’s gone. I think tomorrow it’ll be like that again.”
