Skjelmose: “I feel the last three weeks in my legs”

Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek): “It was a lot of pain, from the start. I didn’t feel very good. I feel the last three weeks in my legs. I hope I can keep the white jersey. I know [Florian Lipowitz] is a really good time trialist. I would say I am as well so I hope I can keep it. I think my TT is really great, I’m the Danish champion and that says quite a lot I believe. But we will see. Tomorrow is the last day of three hard weeks and bad legs can mean a lot but I’m looking forward and whatever happens I’m happy about this Vuelta.”
