I couldn't go faster in the downhill of col d'Allos. I've seen the crashes so Alejandro and I preferred to play safe, for Alejandro to make the podium and for the teams classification. From that point of view, I'm satisfied with today's result because this classification means a lot to us. During the race, we decided to neutralize Contador's attack because he's a real threat for Alejandro's podium placing. Today I was almost at 100%. I didn't manage to dethrone Froome but now there'll be stages that suit me even better. Climbs will be longer and harder. I'll have to attack from further out. We'll keep attacking. Our team is very strong. Our goal remains the yellow jersey.
