Rodriguez: “Everyone arrived tired”

Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers): “I don’t know [if the peloton has waited for Primoz Roglic]. They kept attacking, for sure. We didn’t want to make the race fast, because it’s not fair that, because of a puncture in an unlucky moment, he loses time. But in the end, we all arrived together. This is what matters in the end. We were expecting a hard fight for the breakaway, and it was like that. Maybe we expected Wout [van Aert] to be on it, but he wasn’t, and they controlled all day. It was a pretty fast stage. In the end, I think everyone arrived tired. Hopefully, it will be good for me tomorrow that there’s fatigue in the legs. We’ll see.”
