Geoffrey Bouchard
«We have two days left to complete all the work.«
«We knew that the climb to Jabal Hatt, which was longer than the previous day's climb to Qurayyat, suited me better. A big thank you to all my teammates who protected me and trusted me all day long. I didn't want to follow the first attack in the final because the slope was terrible. I came back just after the start of the final sprint. And finally, there's this podium finish. This third place confirms the good feelings I had during our training camp in Sierra Nevada. Now we have two days left to make all our hard work pay off. Tomorrow's stage will be more for the puncheurs. I think everything will be decided on the final stage with the climb up Green Mountain.»
”This third place confirms the positive feelings.
