Tour de France

Zimmermann with the best climbers: « I’m very proud »

“For this Tour de France, I had the intention to follow the favourites as long as possible in one of the mountain stages. Today I felt good from start to finish. The final climb Col de la Loze was like hell. I knew the climb from the Tour de l’Avenir in 2019, however, I was surprised from its brutality today. It was impossible to find a rhythm because of the steep slopes. Also the high altitude contributed to the degree of difficulty of this queen stage. I managed to follow the best climbers in the Tour, until we were only seven riders left in the yellow jersey group. I even saw Tadej Pogacar dropping before me. I’m very proud of my performance. We are getting closer to Paris, I want to go all out in every stage hoping that we can finish the Tour with a stage win.”
