Yates: “I’m very wary of tomorrow”

Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott): “I haven’t won La Vuelta yet. I’m very wary of tomorrow. We saw today what can happen in just one day. I try to stay focus now. Of course I enjoyed today but it’s not over until it’s over. I felt good which is why I tried. The team did a fantastic job again. Jack (Haig) did a good ride to really set me up before I went away and Adam (Yates) was always behind in case they came back. I have to thank Thibaut (Pinot) for helping me. He could have easily sat on. He was here for the stage win but he could have stayed behind and not help. Chapeau and… You don’t forget things like that very fast!”
