"It’s a position I enjoy. I really enjoy riding like this in a good breakaway, and even if there’s no victory at the end, I’m still happy with my day.

The balance is really good. I felt good from the first day to the last and I even think I improved over the week. That was sort of the aim – to give myself confidence ahead of the Tour – and I’ve achieved that. That will be my goal for the season; I’ll be going for victories and, why not, the polka-dot jersey."
