"The intermediate sprint wasn’t part of my plan today to be honest, but suddenly Jasper tried to be there so I needed to follow him. It was not the plan for me but I saw that he went so I just opened my eyes and tried to follow him. Then finally we were not in the front but it was a nice finish from me and that’s why I can feel a bit more confident. Today then we went just for a few small points. Honestly though today was not that difficult because we had some benefits at the front, three minutes ahead of the bunch. So after the intermediate sprint I just continued, because I didn’t want to wait immediately. We were already in front of the other guys so I just found a good gruppetto and stayed with them."
