"When we got to the last 2km I thought I had a chance, but Pogacar was amazing, he sprinted perfect," Martinez reflected in his post-stage interview. "When they started to move I was focused on Tadej because I wanted the stage, but in the sprint he pushed my legs to my limit. Great work from the team, we'll see next week, tomorrow is easier than today, but we have to stay focused. Take it easy, the hardest part is ahead".
