“I had fun at the beginning, but after 50 kilometres I was completely empty. I just tried to keep going in order to score some points for the green jersey. I thought it was going to be a battle for GC riders, but in the end I found myself in the mix for the stage win and it was good fun. This first week has been absolutely perfect. The start of this Tour has been wonderful and I have enjoyed it so much. I have been super good both physically and mentally. I feel more confident after winning the third stage.”
