“I wondered if it was better to try and break away or to save energy for the Alps. After a while, I opted for riding quietly. I’m not focus on a particular rider to mark yet. It will be the case when we’ll be in the big mountains. Grand Colombier is demanding. There might be a breakaway to catch for going for the stage win but I think I’ll focus more on stages with several climbs and more KOM points to grab.”
