“It was almost like a second day off. I was a little nervous because of the risk of echelons in the cross winds, but my team remained vigilant all day. In the end, there were no gaps to deal with, nor any crashes, so everything went well. We can expect a great fight tomorrow for the breakaway. We know it’s not an easy route, it goes up and down all the time. We can expect that there will be two races, one for the breakaway and one for the general classification. I think Romain Bardet will be extremely motivated to try to win, I hope for him that he will at least manage to get a position at the front to try his luck.”
