Rather a huge relief. “Sometimes I wonder: ‘What am I still doing here?’ It’s so long for three weeks, we count the kilometers to Paris ”he sighed on arrival, the day before.

This fed up, “Pogi” had already expressed it in the past, in particular complaining about the endless protocol reserved for the holder of the yellow jersey after each stage. “I start to be tired and I look forward to the end.
