" I'd like to thank the team again ".
"It's quite pleasing after a few difficult years. I'd like to thank the team again for their fantastic work. Now let's focus on the future, my next races could be the Dauphiné or the Tour de Suisse. I'm preparing for the Tour de France and hope to be selected. I need a good, hard race for that preparation. The rhythm is back, I'm perhaps lacking a little power in the finale, but it's progressing."
