It’s my turn tomorrow
Montluçon
Today has been my second day in yellow in this year's Tour de France. It has also been a very fast stage. It was the last chance for many teams to secure a victory in this year’s Tour, meaning that the beginning of this stage was dramatic whilst the end was fast and tense. This final part saw two riders break away and gain a small advantage that allowed them to fight out the sprint for victory.
On a personal level, I didn’t have any problems. I felt the support of my team mates throughout the stage and tomorrow we’ll reach the most decisive point of this year’s Tour de France. Until now, the team has been behind me, helping me one thousand percent, but tomorrow it’s up to me. I'm feeling ready to assume the responsibility and to take on the race with the guarantees of the last days.
