“It feels good to have an easier day like this one. Actually, the course never allowed us to get too relaxed, as it was up and down the whole time and that made it hard. In any case, we were under control. I’m really enjoying my time at this Tour de France. The atmosphere within the team is great, and I love seeing so many Slovenian fans on the roadside. I don’t know if somebody has said what the queen stage of this Tour de France is, but it might well be tomorrow’s. La Bonette is a big, nice climb. As for Isola 2000, I’ve trained there ahead of the Tour and I know it well. Do I play with home advantage this weekend? Not really. My only advantage is those 3’11” I have on Jonas. As for my strategy, I will start on the defensive to later see if I can go on the offensive, as it can be a good stage for Jonas himself.”
