“The truth is that it was a very beautiful stage, with spectacular views. I'm very happy. I had a good navigation going the whole stage alone and catching other riders. I lacked a bit of speed, and when you catch up with the drivers you lose visibility, but hey, I'm very happy. The stage was not easy. I have found everything and physically I feel very well. One more day and very happy!"
