"We started strong with Cyril (Despres, Editor’s note), by sending", confesses Joan Barreda. "I thought I would catch up with him easily but he was going fast. Finally I joined him and we finished together. The stage was lively and pleasant before the refueling".

"It is not the most important thing to think about recovering seconds in the general classification. What matters is to score points, to make a difference, to gain confidence and to break free. The classification, it comes automatically on the sheets on evening ", explains Despres.
