We expected more sidewinds and backwinds, but there were also a lot of headwinds. It was important not to fall asleep, as the wind could change anytime to tear things apart. When the echelons happened, I found myself surrounded by many teammates. From then on, I had to stay focused because staying at the front became more and more difficult. Once we were safe GC-wise, which was the main goal today, we started working towards sprinting with Blanka [Vas] on this demanding final, uphill kick. As for tomorrow, I think the stage suits me well. I haven’t looked into the details as of yet, but it will be a hard stage and that’s nice for me. As for challengers to look out for, I think Yara Kastelijn has already shown how strong she is, as did Évita Muzic yesterday. And you can never underestimate Elisa Longo Borghini – she is always dangerous!
