Rein Taaramäe (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux): “Again, it was a lucky crash, I’m almost ok, even my cloth was in one piece. Actually, it was a bad idea to be in a good position because the crash happened near the front and the guys at the back passed but I was up there and it took some minutes to go again. Two days in the red jersey, that was good for me. It was nice to experience that and I’m not so sad to lose it. I would have lost it tomorrow or the day after so it’s not a big deal. It was really nice. We’ll see day by day but I think I can defend the polka-dot jersey more than the leader’s jersey.”
