Pedersen: "a good way of getting 20 points"

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo): "The plan was actually to finish the day without too much effort but then I managed to be in the first group on the first climb. The break started to go and I thought why not be up there. I don’t think I spent much more energy being in the break than sitting in the tail at the end of the peloton. I think it was a good way of getting 20 points. It’s nice [to get the jersey] but I’m only 5 points ahead and the race is still long. We keep fighting to get more points. I can get there in breakaways, in the sprints and also in the TT. But for sure tomorrow I will definitely not be on the front."
