Skjelmose: “The most important is to stay consistent, not crack tomorrow”

Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek): “It’s my first time doing a proper GC in a Grand Tour and of course I start to feel it. I think the other guys do as well… maybe not Primoz [Roglic]! I tried not to go over the limit on any day, just to save myself as much as possible and doing the minimal amount of work possible. The most important for me was to prove myself. If I lose two minutes tomorrow, or if I gain two minutes, it’s not the most important. The most important is to stay consistent, not crack tomorrow, and we see what destiny brings. It’s just one day at a time.”
