Tadej Pogacar (third in the second stage of the Tour de France on Sunday in San Sebastian): “It was a good day, a difficult stage, with a lot of attacks at the end. We stayed ahead. Unfortunately, (Matteo) Trentin fell but we tried to play it safe afterwards. We felt good in the Jaizkibel, the team did a very good job.

In the end I tried but it was a bit difficult, (Victor) Lafay really deserves it. With bonuses to go get, if I have the opportunity I go. Maybe in the end those few seconds won’t matter but maybe it will be very tight.” (at the microphone of France 2)
