Enrique Morethat is a day after disappearing more than 8 minutes in general Tour de France kept pace with the best, ensuring that his performance allowed him to regain the confidence he had lost the day before.
“This stage allows me to restore confidence in the team and in myself. I take that, I got a few seconds away from them, I was so excited, ”the Movistar runner said.
Mas gradually dropped from the group of favorites on the ramps of the Alpe d’Huez, but was linked up in the final stretch and dropped just 3 seconds into the final sprint.
“I tried to regulate, it went pretty well. I’m so happy. Thank you to the team because they trusted me, ”said the Spanish cyclist, who received a visit from the president of Movistar.
“I wish we could offer him success on such a special day but we can’t,” he said.
The Mallorcan made a positive reading of the day and featured that it allows him to regain the confidence to continue climbing positions in the overall classification.
Mas acknowledged that the fight for the podium, which was his goal at the start of the Tour, now seemed “very difficult”, as he was more than 7 minutes from third place, but indicated that he could continue to climb the positions. and would probably fight for a victory on stage if the favorites left him by the margin.
The Spanish cyclist confirmed that he still did not know what had happened to him the previous day and said it was possibly because of the digestion cut.
“I don’t know how to describe yesterday. For Spanish fans, it’s as big as a bitch for me. I hope you continue to trust me and we will go up to the stalls“, he says.
