"Since the Tour de France 2022, I often share the room with Georg Zimmermann. To see him winning his first World Tour race on Friday made me so happy! We have an excellent week behind the back with the team here in the Dauphiné. Personally, I'm pleased with my seventh place in the final classification, because it means that I made up my training deficit after getting ill in May. As I was well positioned in the classification, it was complicated to plan an attack the last couple of days. So my strategy was to follow the best riders as long as possible. The past eight days were very demanding, I can feel it in the legs. So I will take it easy for a couple of days before returning to altitude in Andorra to prepare my main goal in July."
