“Even though I didn’t have the best feeling after the start, I managed to join the breakaway and in the end my legs responded well to the accumulation of efforts. I the front we understood that Jumbo-Visma had the race under control and that the chances for our breakaway were small. I felt really good in the final and I was ready to give everything. It is a pity that we didn’t receive more freedom. But there will be other stages in which the breakaway has a chance to receive green lights of the peloton to make it to the finish, that’s why I will try again and again.”
