"I was feeling better and better every day.
"Before the race, I knew I wasn't in the same shape as last year. We did less intensity and more volume in training, but the week went well. I was hoping for a bit more, especially today because I felt really good at the start of the climb, but I'm missing the last few percent needed to maintain a high pace for longer. I was feeling better and better every day, which is promising for the Tour de France."
