And I add: “In the Granon, suddenly, I felt bad. When Jonas has attacked I have tried to continue but I have realized that it was not my day”, said the UAE cyclist, who is now third overall at 2.22 behind Vingegaard.
“I don’t know why but I’ve had a bird, they harassed me a lot, it may have been due to lack of sugar,” he added.
“But I’m going to keep fighting. This time they have attacked me a lot, now I am going to be the one who is going to strike,” said the winner of the last two editions.
Pogacar assured that “From now on it’s going to be an interesting duel, I want to make up for lost time”.
