“When I attacked, I didn’t even evaluate if it was going to work or not. Then I was seeing the finishing line getting closer and my power getting lower in numbers but it has worked out. It’s crazy. This was definitely planned. Yesterday it wasn’t planned when I accompanied Pogacar and Vingegaard at the top of the last climb. Today I didn’t want to do anything in the hill except for keeping up with the top guns. It’s a relief for Cofidis to finally get a stage win. I’ve been hearing about this for five years since I joined the team. I’m happy to free the team from this burden. We’ll keep going. We want more. Bryan Coquard is also very strong.”
