Michael Woods (CAN), winner of the 9th stage of the Tour de France at Puy de Dôme on Sunday, spoke to France 2: “It was very hard on this climb, even at the start I didn’t think I could to win. I thought I had to give my best effort. If I didn’t win, I still wanted to give my best. It’s always better to be in my place than in Jorgenson’s place. When you can see someone (in front of you), you think it’s always possible. 800 meters from the finish, I saw that it was really possible so I gave everything I could.

On Monday, the runners will be entitled to a rest day. The opportunity for them to recharge the batteries before starting the second week of the race.
