By far, it's definitely the biggest accomplishment I've had in a while. It's a prestigious race. It's the highest category for a race in the world. It's a big accomplishment. There's only four guys who wear a jersey every day so it sets you apart. |
For here its monumental, its an even that California has never seen, very few places in the U.S. have seen a race like this, it's bringing the European style of racing to the U.S.. |
I don't have the experience. I don't have the strength yet. I have to think of other things. It kind of worked out (Friday) and hopefully it will keep working out (Saturday). |
It's a really hard climb. The overall is separated by four seconds right now. Eighth is good. We're proving ourselves to be one of the best domestic teams. We still have a lot of room to grow. |
It's all dependent on if I can get a few points tomorrow. I have to get at least one Top 3, ideally two to secure it. I have the day cut out for me. I think the team will be really supportive of it, it's a really big jersey to win. I'll have some teammates helping me get up there. Hopefully I'll get some more points and win it overall. |
