"I was really motivated to achieve a good result on this last stage. The route was a good match for my qualities. The team did a great job in trying to make the tempo harder. On my side, I felt that I had good legs. I'm happy to have been able to respond on the last climb but I'm still disappointed that I didn't manage to win the stage against Simon Yates and Jay Vine. But I want to keep the positive side: it was a great week to go back to school. Everyone in the team was up to the task. We will have another chance together to win the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race next Sunday.
