«I'm a little disappointed. It would have been a great moment for me to win the overall classification. We did our best and I think we had a good race: I won a stage, I did well in the time trial, and today I finished third in the stage and second overall. It's still a success, but I'm not completely satisfied because I didn't win the overall classification. We can leave the United Arab Emirates happy because the team has worked very well over the last few days. We've had an excellent week despite everything.»
