Felix Gall
"I'm getting more and more comfortable".
"Winning ahead of Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel, and Jonas Vingegaard is very difficult in a bunch sprint, so I'm happy with fourth place. I really gave it my all, and even though I'm satisfied with the result, for me, the main goal is in the second and third weeks. The first few days of Tour always very stressful, and the heat over the last few days has been difficult to manage. But I'm finding a good rhythm with my teammates, and I'm feeling more and more comfortable in the peloton. This morning at the briefing, we said that the top five was the goal, so this fourth place is very satisfying. I'm looking forward to the second week and stage ten, which will be my first goal."
