Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott): “I never thought I would lose the red jersey. The first 100km were very intense and chaotic. We expected a lot of attacks. Then Movistar started to control because they had to. We don’t have enough people to do it, it was up to them. Of course Pinot was dangerous but we couldn’t control everything. We had to take some risks and in the end I’m still in the red. The legs felt good, without any problem, and now I’m looking forward to the real mountain stages.”
