Third on Paris-Nice stage 5 sprint

When the bunch was about to reach the escapee in the final straight I found myself a bit boxed in. Bonifazio had space, timed his sprint well and took the victory. Congratulations to him for this good performance! I would have liked to finish the day with a win but I did my best. On the other hand, we were successful in our GC goals and both Felix and Max didn’t lose any seconds which was important today.

Keď sa balík priblížil k úniku v cieľovej rovine, ocitol som sa trochu zavretý. Bonifazio mal priestor, dobre načasoval svoj špurt a získal víťazstvo. Gratulujem mu k tomuto dobrému výkonu! Chcel som dnes zvíťaziť, nevyšlo to, ale urobil som, všetko čo som mohol. Na druhej strane sme boli úspešní v našich cieľoch celkovom poradí a Felix ani Max nestratili žiadne sekundy, čo je dnes dôležité.
