Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step): "Tadej and Jonas were stronger than me"

“I wanted to put some pressure on and see if I could do something today. But Tadej and Jonas were stronger than me, it’s that simple. Once we were together I found myself on the edge again and when they attacked I couldn't keep up with them. But I had to try, and in the end I lost a little time but it’s not that important. Tomorrow, I want to make a final effort at maximum intensity to win the final stage. I know the route, as I had a look at it after Paris-Nice and I like it. But I think Tadej knows it very well too, it’s home for him. In my opinion, the stage will be fought for between the top three in the general classification. But it’s not a pure time trial, it’s a mountain time trial. So Tadej will be the man to beat.”
