“It’s pretty good for my first Tour de France. Today I gave it my all, but I realized that I no longer really had my best, even if I was still in good shape, as I finished third in this time trial. And if I take stock, I finished on the podium in the general classification, with the white jersey for best young rider and a stage victory, I can be proud of myself and my team. Tadej is in another world, and Jonas was also superior to me. But it’s a big step forward in my career. There is still a gap to close with them, but it opens up the perspective. With Tadej, we are from the same generation, we get along very well and I think it’s also because we have a bit of the same way of riding.”
