“After a break, I came here to see how my legs are ahead of the final part of the season. For sure, the white jersey gives a good morale, now I have to retain it till the end. I felt pretty good up the hill. I attacked in the second last lap. I took a bit of an advantage but I got caught just before the last climb. However, I fought for staying in the main group. My ambition for this race is to bring home the best result possible, hopefully the podium and if I manage, even something better.”
