Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo): “It panned out much better than what we could hope for. I spoke with (Nicolas) Roche and I attacked with him. Since he couldn't hold the pace, he told me to go alone. We have a good relation. I knew I had a teammate ahead (Edward Theuns) and we gave it all. It was a hard descent, with a reflections on the surface because of the humidity. We went as fast as possible and now we need to recover. Froome crashed but he didn't lose much time and I'm sure he'll keep going strong. Since I didn't expect anything from today, it's a day to be very happy with. The legs hurt and we had to take a decision. If I end up fighting for La Vuelta, it will be the top of the top, but we have to go day by day.”
