“It was good! It was a super easy day until the final, to be fair. Then, it was explosive, but I felt much better in the heat than I did earlier in the week… It was a nice day!" O'Connor reflects in his
post-stage interview following stage 7.
"I wasn’t surprised Primoz Roglic went for the bonus but it wasn’t like a crazy explosive attack. I’m pretty comfortable with how I felt today and pretty happy with how it turned out," continues the
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team leader's assessment, seemingly unbothered by the small time loss. "I can’t really do much against Primoz’s sprint for the bonuses but he would have to take a lot of bonuses to make up that time. We’ll see in the big mountains.”
