Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers): “We knew that Herrera was a hard climb and it could be a good day for someone to try, so we were prepared for an attack and it happened in the end. I managed to survive and then there were teams interested because Landa was dropped. It was easy to understand each other and collaborate until the finish to have a gap on him. Obviously, he’s a big rival and if we can distance him it’s good for us. You never know what can happen. Mikel Landa has been one of the best climbers in this race and today he was dropped on a climb so you never know what can happen in a third week. It has been some really tough stages so we can expect everything.”
