"My intention was for me to help the lead-out of my team by pulling with 3 kilometres to go, as we were supporting Alexander Kristoff for the stage win. I’m happy I could do it as planned. I will try to keep the jersey, but it will be really difficult for me tomorrow, with a lot of climbs but I will try. Then it would be possible to keep it for some more days, so I will try all that I can to keep the jersey for as long as possible. My first priority is to get in the breakaway and then I will see if I am there. I’ll be lucky to have the jersey after tomorrow, but I feel so lucky to have had this jersey since the first day, it’s a very big thing for me."
