Geoffrey Bouchard
"We have two days left to complete all the work"
"We knew that the climb to Jabal Hatt, which was longer than the previous day's climb to Qurayyat, suited me better. A big thank you to all my teammates who protected me and trusted me all day. I did not want to follow the first attack in the final because the slope was terrible. I came back just after the final sprint started. And finally, there is this podium at the finish. This third place confirms the good feelings I had during our training in Sierra Nevada. Now we have two days left to put all the work into practice. Tomorrow, the stage will be more for the punches. I think that everything will be decided on the last stage with the ascent of Green Mountain.
