“Unfortunately, today was not an easy finish. We know this is the last sprint stage and everybody gets more excited and tries to do as much as they can in the front. I also try to be there. There were also a lot of roundabouts in the last 10km. It’s narrow at every roundabout and then suddenly, I don’t know who it was from EF, we touched handlebars, he went inside me and then I didn’t have nothing to do, I just found myself on the ground. But luckily I’m able to ride, so that’s the good thing. I hurt my knee and and I have two stiches in my elbow but it’s not a problem. To be honest mentally I’m ok so we will see tomorrow and hopefully I’m going to be ok. When I crashed and I got up I saw that I could ride my bike and I was happy. For me I don’t care if I lose this jersey or I keep it, I’d just like to like to arrive in Nice without any trouble. Still now, it’s not finished yet so I’ll try to fight.”
