“I did all day ahead in a breakaway and our group goes to the end. During the sprint for victory a fall occurs, and I narrowly avoid it. I have a hard time sprinting because I was tired, but I still get through it. I was happy to race ahead today, to take the breakaway. I had a lot of fun, I’m a little disappointed to finish ninth because I hoped for better, but what I remember above all is this day spent at the head of the race. This is a positive point to remember. I am for the second night the leader of the classification of the best young rider, and I went back up to the 22nd overall in the event. I hope to hold this rank tomorrow”.
