| Your stage 3 winner, Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky Procycling) "It’s been a team’s performance in the last climb and the last kilometer where Peter Kennaugh and at the end Geraint Thomas led me out. The chase down the hill was excellent. I’m grateful to the team. They’ve been amazing. It’s very nice to win at the Dauphiné again. I’m really happy. In stage 1, I just didn’t have the legs for climbing. It takes a while to get used to the mountains. Now I feel good. My form is coming at the right time. It’s great for my morale to come up with a stage win at the Dauphiné again. I’m ready to switch my focus to my other job helping Chris Froome. Our main goal at Team Sky remains the yellow jersey." | share this photo |
