"It was a brutal day. I was not at my best today. I did my maximum effort to take as many KOM points as possible. It was good opportunity. We will continue like this in the third week. Me and my teammates are in good shape, so we will try again. I’m feeling better than yesterday about the outcome of the race, because I got the KOM jersey after a big fight. I’m sort of happy, yet it is still not good enough. In order to claim this jersey in Paris, I need to be in the breakaway as many days as possible, whereas Pogacar and Vingegaard can take points while in the GC battle. There are two different ways to win this KOM classification, yet both are hard!"
