He says he feels good and he's looking for a mountain stage win next week | share this photo |

Too bad Vasil Kiryienka (Team Sky) was so far down on GC to start the day. Q: You've won every sort of stage... Would you be a good team leader? A: I've never won a sprint [laughs]. Today is a special win for me because I haven't been able to win a time trial in recent years. As for being a leader, it is difficult to be a leader because, in my view, you are under pressure every day. It's something special. I don't know if I'd want that sort of role: perhaps for a one-week race, but in a race like this, it make special demands. | share this photo |
