BEN O’CONNOR: «Pleased with my comeback»
«It was a very difficult stage with no time to rest. You had to be smart not to use up your energy too early. I was dropped near the top of the Col de la Madone. When I came back, I managed to break away, but I didn't know that Brambilla was ahead. Luckily I didn't win the sprint, because I would have raised my arms as if I had won. I'm really happy with my first two races and the atmosphere in the team.»[/su_quote]
