I have prepared the Tour de France more than the championship but since it was climbing I think that I did not get too bad. Sincerely, I loved the course that the route was a little longer, I think I could have holded the same power, but the goal was to win. 3rd and at 18 it is still very beautiful and I think he will win a few, with Kévin it will be a beautiful battle for a few years.
