I wouldn’t change anything we did today and that’s a really nice feeling knowing we all did our best. It was a super performance by the team.”Roche was proud of his teammates’ effort, having sacrificed his own performance to be their domestique. “The tactic was that I would look after the two boys to put them in the best position for the finish,” he said.
