“It wasn’t ideal but AG2R rode really well today. They really took the race on and put us under pressure. But fortunately we’ve got such a strong team, when one guys is not so good, another guy steps up. Tao and Castro were really good today. We were always just in control. We never panicked. But I didn’t want to get carried away. It’s easy to underestimate how far to go. I didn’t want to lose time. It’s obviously a big day as well tomorrow. I try to do just the minimum and at the end, I went for it to see what happens. I managed to get a few more bonus second, which is good.”
