“Today I sprinted like in the old days. I stayed safe in the fast long run in. It was slightly downhill. I needed to do the right thing. I agree with [Dimension Data performance manager] Rolf Aldag when he says that my return to the track has helped me take the split second decisions. He has been part of my team's staff almost my entire career. He listens to me, solves the problems. He knows how it works. He knows how to support someone. Him and [directeur sportif] Roger Hammond are the most formidable managers to make decisions. My wins don't happen like that. They come from a plan we get each day. Only one stage victory at the Tour de France makes a career or a season, so I'm obviously happy with three this year and if I win only one more by the end of my career, I'll be happy as well. I'm glad to wear the green jersey today but when we'll hit the mountains, there's no way I'll beat Peter Sagan. Nobody can. He's just on another level.”
