"After my big breakaway and incredible final yesterday, I was again ready mentally this morning. I wished for another outcome than third place, but I quickly forgot my disappointment because I didn't have regrets and I received many messages with congratulations. Physically, it was different. It took a long time before the breakaway was composed and I could feel it in the legs, especially because the start was uphill. In the final it was very nervous and the five last kilometers were full gaz. I did what I could to follow and I managed to finish in the same time as the winner thanks to the support of my teammates. To be again on the podium with the white jersey in such a prestigious race is a privilege. It is an important race before the Tour de France, so competition is high. I hope to keep the jersey tomorrow and why not a couple of days longer, it would make me very happy."
