"I'm very happy with how the prologue went, and with my first time-trial victory, I'm delighted. For the rest of the week, there are stages that will probably come down to a sprint, and we'll have some great cards up our sleeves with Pierre (Gautherat) and Dorian (Godon). Saturday's stage is predicted to be difficult, so I think I'll be able to do well on that one and keep up the momentum. I hope to be able to keep the lead in the overall classification, but it's going to come down to bonifications, and in that game, the sprinters have an advantage."
