“I’m supper happy, it was quite a hard day with a lot happening in the stage with snow… We never gave up and I think we deserved it. I was feeling quite good but I’m not the best in cold temperatures so I was suffering from that. The climb was not steep enough to reduce the group. Jonas [Vingegaard] attacked at a good moment, I was not in the best position but I gave it my best and I’m super happy with the outcome. There are some setbacks, but yesterday was yesterday and today was another opportunity. We lose as a team and we win as a team. Yes, I think I can win Paris-Nice but it’s not only up to me.”
