"Normally, the polka-dot jersey is for climbers, but now… In recent years, the sprinters have been climbing and the climbers have been sprinting, so it’s a bit of a mix for everyone. It’s not easy to compete against [Wout van Aert]. He’s one of the best in the world and, well, that makes the battle for this jersey all the more interesting. Tomorrow will be a very tough day. We’re hoping to recover now, so that tomorrow we’ll have strong legs and can finish this week in the best possible way."
