“Tuesday there is a blow to play … The yellow jersey is in my head”
“At the start of the day, it was really quiet, we did not even have showers“He begins by telling.”Then it became very nervous after Cassel. It is never pleasant to see others fall, but personally I tried to keep a safety distance and I was able to avoid falls. When Remco dropped 5 kilometers from the finish, I was just behind but that's how I was able to avoid it. Already on the intermediate sprint, I was in the front rows but I was not worried, I was able to shift myself. It's still a shame to abandon on intermediate sprint“regretted Vauquelinbefore talking about his day in white and projecting himself with envy on the 4th stage on Tuesday, which could suit him in Rouen.
“Spending the day with the white jersey was great, it is beautiful and I felt encouraged on the whole stage. Tomorrow there is a blow to play, it is a course that suits me, I have not recognized it but I have relatives who went there and who described it to me. Of course, the yellow jersey is in my head. I do not know if I will be marked, but they know that I am not targeting the general classification, however it would be great to wear it for the Caen stage. He will happen what will happen, we will see“, He concluded.
