Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG): “It was supposed to be just an easy bunch sprint day but it turned out to be more mentally challenging than just that. There was not echelons but crosswind, nervousness, for the last two and a half hours which was mentally pretty tough. I was doing the work when it was relatively easier, saving the bigger guys that could put out more power for the end and keeping my powder dry for tomorrow, the last chance to try and take red. The whole lan [is to go for La Roja with Joao Almeida]. There’s no secret that a couple of other teams also want to make tomorrow really hard and secure their positions in the GC.”
