Tadej Pogacar (SLO / UAE,
Tour de France: stage victory and the yellow jersey, double blow for Pogacar
)
: “
The more I win, the better.
The stage was very hard, the first two hours were crazy, the strongest (Van Aert) was in the breakaway and many riders wanted to be in front.
I wondered at one point if we were going to take him back but the peloton was the strongest.
Then, as I felt good, the team worked hard to put me in the best position.

The sprint? It was not a pure sprint. We went very fast in the last two climbs. Fortunately, I had good legs. The goal was not to take the yellow jersey but I am very happy with the victory
